M900 back new forks

Hi guys, not posted for sometime as I'm on a UK Monster forum as well.
Anyway, after fitting an Ohlins shock it highlighted how bad the frontend was. I had a few options, rebuild the old forks, fit cartridges or buy some others from ebay etc.
After searching options on the internet I found that Showa were selling a new set of ST2/4, 748, 916, 996 etc forks for £250. A s the cartridge kits were £600 it seemed no brainer.
Forks arrive from Italy in about a week and I set to. It's only when I strip the front end that I notice the axle is not the 20mm of my Monster but the later 25mm!
So then the search for a wheel, axle, speedo drive, calipers etc started. Eventually I have it all and put it together, I needed a 748 style front fender as there were no mounts for my oe one.
Anyway she lives again but, because of Covid 19 we are on lockdown and I can't ride it!

ST2/4, 748, 916, 996
Did they say the forks would fit all those models?

How do 53 mm diameter forks fit into 50 mm triples?
It's only a question.

Monster & ST are 50mm for the top & 54 for the bottom. SBK’s are 53 top & bottom.

Like the style, black 'n yellow = angry hornet
Note what these guys are saying about triple clamp fitment as it's critical. Maybe they're M900ie forks for a straight fit to your triples (iirc)? Just be aware that any forks purchased may still need spring and valve work for your weight and riding style, (unless your lucky
). SBK forks may have spring's that are too stiff for some Monsters due to different weight bias, but if your stock springs were too soft and you're a solid bloke then they might be in the ball park for you.

Sorry, my mistake. The forks are ST everything else will fit the bikes listed.
Thanks for the comments
