Any body use these?They are the stock length but are oil forks.I'm thinking about some for my 50.Gonna motard it over the winter.Big bore,heavy duty or manual clutch (haven't decided yet),motard tires.

actually i have been wondering about those forks myself, the price is right and they look decent but i don't have them in my budget right now, but would definitely like to hear some feedback on them as well

bodydropcbr6 · 09-17-2007, 04:09 PM

so they dont have the springs in them ?

trizzbizzle · 09-17-2007, 04:35 PM

here's what they look like. they go for 130 shipped

patman · 09-17-2007, 05:08 PM

As far as I know they have springs.If they don't I dont think I'd want them.

trizzbizzle · 09-17-2007, 05:29 PM

its hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like they may be set up to run mx clamps, don't know if the triple is adjustable, but if you can only run mx bars i would'nt want them

where do you find them? They look really wide from the pic... maybe putting a 4" wide front wheel would make them a good option for a Z build.

They are on ebay search "crf50 forks" and you will find them

Doesn't look like that lower has the proper provisions for a z/xr/crf50 steering stem stop. Kinda looks like NSR tabs..

My roomate and I both bought a set and don't waste your money. The risers are cheap metal that break when tightened too much. The bearings that come with them are too big for the fork neck. They say they are heavy duty forks but they bottom out riding off the curb. All you have to do is push down on the bars and they will bottom out. You get what you pay for and in this case they are too good to be true. Hell the stock front fender won't even mount on these forks. The front fender bolt patterns like the KLX.

For stunting i wouldnt run anything but +1s and HD springs. I used to stunt with a fast50s speedfork setup and i hated it, Its just too much weight for the front end for stunting. Screws up most any circle combo.

Yup complete junk. Infact dont buy anything from them, almost all china junk knockoff. The forks are ok but top triple, clamp is complete junk. Also, as mentioned above the bearing that come with it is completely useless. I told the seller to take those out for future sales and he agreed to, thats how bad they were. You can run the stock 50 bearing on there. I broke the clamp before I even took my 1st ride. You can run the fork legs with crf70 triple and stem and would make decent setup but by then you should have just bought used set of sp5's. It not for heavy jumping but moderate jumping I think it will withstand, well unless your fat.

I bought factory 70 forks.I got a nice set for $100.00 shipped.
