 :) Standard size forks,every BMX shop will have forks to fit.Just avoid ones with an integrated crown race as they prob won`t fit.

A huffy half ton, wow thats a meaty bike, I had an M80 Corey Nastazio, and ive still got two other Huffys in my collection a 79 and a midschool freestyler.

as Voivod has said any forks will do, they are readily available, but due to the weight of a Huffy i'd go for the lightest forks you can afford it will be worth it

I think you can get hold of a pair of 'Blank' or 'Xposure' forks for that price, available in various colours too. (Not a lot else though.)  :daumenhoch:
