Does anyone on here know what these forks are off ?. I purchased the bike last year and was told they were off a yzf 750, but looking at forks on ebay they seem to have different mountings for the mudguard the reason I am asking is that all my bike needs now is new discs and I don't want to buy the wrong ones.

Hmmm, well they appear to have been `scallopped` out to accept the gold spots which would indicate that they are YZF750 but I`ll admit compared to Alex`s on this thread:

(Click on the first image to enlarge it)
They are certainly different in the mudguard mountings and the rebound adjuster on the bottom of the fork leg too.
Maybe yours are earlier or later varients J, From a YZF 750 SP perhaps?

yer I filed them out with a hand file to accept the gold spot calipers the front mudguard looks like a late fzr 1000. I know the 94-95 yzf 750 are a different fitment see link

Quote the disc rotor overall diameter, number and diameter of the disc bolts and their PCD`s (pitched circle diameter) and let the suppliers decide which you need.

cheers kayla, they are off a 1995 fzr 1000 ru had a ratch on the net and found a few pics. I wonder if they are the same wheel and disc set up as the yzf 750.

I had a 1992 Exup RU and didn`t have to file the legs down to get Blue spots to fit??
There could have been a change from the 1992 to 95 ...I`ll check in my manual but I don`t remember a leg change off the top of me head.
