motovita Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Obviously not Trials forks, look Suzuki-ish to me. There is probably a logo or casting # somewhere on the clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faussy Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) A generic trail bike fork Edited March 12, 2018 by faussy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2stroke4stroke Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 If you're going to use those on a Bantam then Uncle Bunt would be the man to advise☺ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree ,look like DR200 or similar,from memory they will be 35mm diameter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourian Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Possibly from a Chinese clone called a Flywing MX150 from 2004 Edited March 12, 2018 by ourian add some 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section swept Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha have all used similar types to the ones you show in your first picture. It was a novel way of getting more suspension travel without raising the height of the bike at the front end. The design was first seen on MX bikes and then migrated to Enduro and Trail bikes. You might find that the extended lower part of the leg may foul on rocks and other trials type going, which would be a disadvantage. They probably weigh a bit more than the normal forks.

Prototype Posted March 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Thanks @section swept @ourian @potto @2stroke4stroke @faussy you guys are spot on .. it seems like suzuki DR200 etc , i got them for some part exchange. i would like to use them if possible. i have another drum brake wheel as well if i want to use it on bantam . i would like to lower them a bit. i think they still very high for trials bike. thanks again for your quick help Regards Edited March 12, 2018 by bsa4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamferret Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Get hold of some steel bottoms from something like a B40 or heavy weight cub and turn the forks down to fit inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
