Need to know what forks will fit my Vincent Airzone.

(1/3) > >>

SDF:
I need some advice as to what alternative forks that will have sufficient thread to  fit my Airzone? I have fitted some Tange Tx500 as a stand-in, but they do not have sufficient thread to fit the locking nut, hence the do not look good on the bike. I threw my Vincent forks in te skip in the early 90's, but luckily the batterd frame was spared and left in the shed.I will never find Vincent forks, So I'm looking for a suitable alternative. Any info would be much appreciated. Steve.

Hiya Steve, seem to remember someone else having the same problem. Can't recall what the answer was, let's see if my brain sorts something out......

Nice one, I'm struggling myself. Any help will be much appreciated.

There's a fella who builds bespoke BMX stuff, frames, forks, bars etc who could probably make you a set I've seen his stuff on a well known social networking site.

I think this is his site   :daumenhoch:

Any chance of a pic of your headset as installed?  Just that AceFto on here is building a midscool bike has the opposite problem and was going to suggest you both swap your top race over to see if his gives you enough threads to get the lock-nut on? Tange ones for instance are high and often have a locking nut integrated into the top race to enable you to get a spanner on, but a cheaper Halfords type might be recessed down to let you thread the locking nut on without a washer ???

Put a pic us of what you have installed and let's see how many millimeters you are looking to reduce it by to get the lock-nut on :coolsmiley:
