Hi All...
Have an Atomik Nitrous Mid Size 160 (CRF70 STYLE) and after 3 months of fairly easy riding the forks are crapping themselves...
Considering buying some aftermarket forks, but not sure which ones to go with..
Want to compile a list of the different forks that are popular, then I can go do some research and put down the best prices and where to get them etc...
Think this would be a handy thread, as I couldn't find anything with all the information compiled together...
FYI. Looking at the GPX forks from DHZ for $445.. Anyone got feedback on these forks?
Pros? Cons? Etc...
Thanks!
Heres the info I have so far from this thread...
