RS125 forks

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

wont that meen that the caliper will mount on the outside of the leg if you swap it from one side to the other?

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:
