I was thinking of getting a cheap 125 gp front end for tarmac only!!!

11" travel is pretty hard to control with the epic front brake I now have!!!!!
The other thing, all the 60-85cc bikes are valved for a rider of about 40-50 kg. I have already fitted 4.0 n/mm springs (standard is 3n/mm) and it still dives like a b!@rch even with all the adjusters on max!! I just got some 10w fork oil and I'm hoping that will sort it a little, I'll also raise the fork oil height to stop it slamming on bottom out. If it doesn't work I'm going to a spring guy over here to shorten the springs then over to a suspension guy who will halve the travel stroke.

This is one area where the pit bike front ends are better because they only have about 4-5" of travel.

hey ringo if your keen
the forks are easy
extra shims just tell them your weight and application
and lowering spacers id guess 40mm
the spacers add preload to your springs
but you may need more preload to help stop the dive
have a go mate

I hate not doing the work myself but this is one area I'll leave to an expert, I want to drop the forks so the top out point needs to locked in lower down, I dont want to just jack the front right up and use the top half of the travel. I want to use the bottom half, steeper rake angle too.

I drained the fork oil last night into a measuring cup, both legs had 200ml in them. I refilled with 10w and put 250ml in. Wheels are out to put the sava's on today because I'm $#!7ing myself that it gonna rain in Geraldton in a week and a half for the state titles. So some tread is better than no tread!!!

Will be finalizing the setup for Gero this Saturday and Sunday at our secret test track!!!
I'll let you know how the forks go!!
