tonyp Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Hi, I'm building a bantam. I have knackered old C15 forks, and thinking of swopping for some off an early Jap trail bike, MZ, or TY175. But how do people switch over to a knock-through spindle. I don't have access to a lathe, or friend with a lathe. In addition to the above, are there any forks that are an easy fit (I'm also keen to avoid too much re-work in terms of the length of the steering head which seems quite short on a Bantam). TonyP.

motocub Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Some japanese bikes have the 33mm stantions which require no mods to the yolks although will need fitting to your fork legs. As well as Alan, Paul Jackson is a very good trails bike engineer, depends where you live? Paul 01422378100 (Huddersfield) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
