Landing Gear Forks

(1/5) > >>

SteveG:
I'm after a set of Landing Gear forks for my Ripper. I ran out of cash when I bought it and had a set of Tange ARX forks but was always going to get the proper ones later on.

Anyway much later on Landing Gear forks now require a small bank loan to purchace if you can find good ones. Has anyone thought about using Standing Gear ones and removing the platforms ? Has anyone ever looked inside the extra bit to see if there are any extra holes in the forks.

I might refit the ARX forks as they were what it always had on the bike but I will have to get them rechromed as they are about the only things that got damaged when I was using it.

What do you all think ?

brass monkey!:
this has been raised before, not sure whether they are hollow underneath the footstands,

it would be a big risk,

hang in there mate, I bought 2 pairs of Landing Gear last year, one set were proper MINT and only cost me £75 !

Del:
I agree with MonkeyB, it would be a risk, but I'm pretty sure they're just normal Landing Gear with the exra bits welded on but I doubt they're hollow underneath as it would have been cheaper just to weld extra bits to the existing LG forks at the factory.

SteveG:
Cheers for the replies.  Just thinking about it at the moment, I will keep my eyes open.

daz bmx it!:
Try LXIX on here,I think he mentioned he had a few pairs? or he can get em :)
