RS125 forks

Post by alimorg »

Having a scout around ebay and noticed that Aprilia RS125 USD forks/yolks are quite cheap, however they are a single disk setup, so my question is this do you recon you could get 2 sets use both legs with the caliper mounts to convert to a twin disk setup?

This is not for any performance/handling improvement it will be just for show - Oooh look that KR-1 has USD forks sort of thing.

Cheers

Got a set, think it would be more trouble than what it was worth and anyway rs125 forks are like a few Italian ones with damping in one leg and springing in the other. If you're looking at cheap usd forks perhaps the rg125 ones might be better as they share a simillar front wheel with the gs500 and all you need to do to make into a twin discs set up is to remove a plastic cover left hand leg has caliper mounting points as well.
Having said all that don't know if they'd be any good on the bike :lol:
