Title: early mid forks options. help needed
Post by: newlovetattoos on May 18, 2015, 11:43 AM

Ive been thinning out all of my stuff lately and still have a ton of stuff that i need to sell which is freeing up some nice funds for 'spesh' bits  but i have a question i thought id ask you guys to see if you can help me out with something im a bit stuck on with a project of mine. Im working on a 95 dirtbike at the moment and im clutching at straws with an idea for the forks. Ideally im looking for stupid forks or threaded pitch or ditch but as these never come up i want a decent alternative i can fall back on that wont look shite and depressing. Ive been thinking about tange forks but im not too certain which model would make the most sense date wise. Era correct isnt too much of a problem but i dont want wildly different eras. Anyways im waffling and at risk of going off on a tangent so thanks in advance for any help anyone can come up with

cheers ste, yeah standard forks would be ideal, import fees arent too much of a worry as long as the item price is right. ill have a look for them now too.
