they fit on any bike with a 1" headset as they don't actually attach to any part of the headset (you swap the headset locking ring for the black spinmaster ring)   a spinmaster works pretty much the same as an ACS rotor  :daumenhoch:

A spinmaster II works and sets up rather like an Oddy Gyro but slides onto the stem shaft and is a bitch to set up right  :daumenhoch:
