Post by: MaD-RoK on July 21, 2011, 07:09 PM: From bmxmuseum, as well as the suntour stamp a few more ID tips:

Quote from: MUNCH
Quote from: caleb_k21
fake.. see the indents on the sides, there is suppose to be one on the bottom also.. and a real forklifter does not have a cable hole for a roter. also the quill is very short on a real one.. you can not run a rotor period..
FORKLIFTER ID 101
