guy53 Posted Wednesday at 10:33 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 10:33 PM What is a good alternative to a TY 175 fork, I know many replace them with TY 250 fork but since there so few of them avalable maybe there is an alternative that does not require me to sell my home to buy Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemur Posted yesterday at 01:48 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 01:48 PM (edited) Triple trees limit your options to run larger stanchion tubes, the stock steering head bearing is the weak part. Steering head bearing upgrade to taper bearing is relatively inexpensive and gives you the most bang for your buck. ... if you could devise a way to run a fatter axle and larger bearings that would go a long way to stiffening the front end, it's not hard to twist TY175 forks. Super important to replace the stock wheel bearings frequently to maintain suspension and brake performance.

mcman56 Posted yesterday at 03:53 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:53 PM With light oil and teflon coated bushes in the lower legs, I find the stock TY175 forks to work pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only classic TY had teflon coated bushings in the lower legs to replace, but sadly they do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago The lower legs can be modified to accept standard size bushings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
