    Having some trouble locating a set of forks for my 500, but I found a set of 700 forks near me for a good price. Will they fit? and can I put the 700 forks in the 500 sliders or no?
    Thanks!

    The last ones I saw started at $145 with no guarantee that they were straight.

    Those prices are ridiculous. They want $300 for a set of used forks, and I can get a NEW set made by Franks Forks for $250.

    Does anyone know if vf700/750/1000 forks are the same as a vf500?

    I don't think they're the same Bill, but I don't know why you couldn't switch to a set of 700 forks in a 500 bike.

    As far as interchanging parts between 500 and 700 forks, I doubt it, but don't have any experience with it to know for sure.
