Thats the old Cagiva type-face, probably not the MS then. Yop yoke indicates flat bars. They're non-adjustable so possibly early base-model Monster. Caliper bolt spacing is small too so they're definitely from an early bike.

caliper bolt spacing is 40mm,
the forks came with a pair of 4-pot calipers,
thought it was a good deal at £150.00,, for the lot,,
need to know the type-year-etc, so i can strip them and put new seal's, oil, etc in,

All I can confidently say is that they're from an early Monster. So that's early/mid-ish 90's. I don't think they changed much during that time. Your local dealer should know.

No probs! Its the Jefferies family you're talking about, I assume? Was a sad loss when DJ died. His mum passed away a few days ago too :(

i would say ss.
late 80's early 90's.
Monster forks would stick out about and inch past the top yoke.

Early Monster, most likely a 900 but possibly off a related model like at SS

Assuming they haven't been adjusted...;)

Like Ped says they are either Monster or SS early to mid 90's have a good look at the bottom of the legs on the inside there may be a clue but they look like Showa's, the triple's are deffo monster from an early carbie

They look just like the Showa non-adjustable ones from my '93 m900 Monster, though they've been slid down in the yokes. I cant check the dims at the moment as my bike is 100 miles away.

The important bits are that they use the small diameter axle and have the closer centres for the caliper mounting bolts.

They were used on the m900 then the m750 when that came out, though the m900 got adjustables then. Unless they happened to have something different to hand to fit instead! The m600 just got cheaper ones.
