I wouldn't get it. For a few hundred more u could just get Bombshells, i shock non-res, and sano swingarm

Hey kid,

I have Sik50's full suspension (front and rear) with the HD spring kit in the forks and I must say it works awsome. For the money its one of the

best ballenced suspension kits on the market. I haven't even had a single

problem with them since I've had them........Im 5'8" and weight 195lbs. It

soakes up the jumps and Keeps the power to the ground. So yes I would

recomend this set up to anyone.

Race tested Too Thanks OLDSCHOOL

no not

OLDSCHOOL · Dec 18, 2003

No Not what????

railinrob · Dec 18, 2003

what is wrong with them? I was planning on getting the sik50's fork kit

OLDSCHOOL · Dec 18, 2003

Hey Dude,

There is nothing wrong with them, I run them. People make coments on

products that they dont have, so how could they have Imput. Or because

so and so said that Johnny said that he heard that they were junk. You

just cant go by that.

I have SIK50's products on my bike, Their full suspension, and the

KITACO products that they sell ......... My Forks have NOT leaked,tweeked

or disapointed me in any way....! and that is a FACT.

Hear say is for Dopes who want to believe.

Anytime day or night Thanks OLDSCHOOL

I realize that I just wanted to hear what they thought was wrong with them jeff at 50ccracing.com had a good review of them plus I dont want the disc brake because I KNOW I'll crash and bend the disc

Hmm, I've ridden the "stiffened" sik50s suspension, and its still way to soft. Bottom out going hard into corners.

THE-KID · Dec 18, 2003

sik forks/swing arm

im 135lb 5,7 if i do get the kit should i get the stiffer springs in the front

OLDSCHOOL · Dec 19, 2003

Hey Kid,

Ya you can get the Hd spring kit, you can also ad 3oz. of 15wt. fork oil to

each fork leg. To help stiffen it. You will not be disapointed......

Bryce, you rode "more oiled filled" forks. When you rode 80's, was the stock setup from the factory, fufill your expectations? No. I am sure that you had either race-tech or a aftermarket shop do your forks.

Your $1,000 forks, you have to lube everytime you ride. Why? Simple, there is no oil in them. Since when have motorcycle forks had just springs? Sano is the main and exclusive distributor for them, and they don't sell replacement parts? Thats lame. Bend the disk, and you have to have Bombshell direct, send the part out to you? They are stiff, and have had problems in the past. When we put a fork kit together, we have no clue who its going out to, maybe a 50 pound ripper, or a 300 pound sumo-wrestler. When they leave our shop, they never return. Hell, we have never even sold a seal! Look at guys like OLDSCHOOL, that rip. He's 5'9 and 195 lbs. and wins most of the races out his way, and with a little adjustment of stiff springs, and/or oil they are choice. Our forks are proven, and if anything had the slightest problem with bending, leaking, or reliablility, Yamaha Motor Corporation would have fixed it years ago.

I imagine that sik50s suspension works well, probably better then my BBR forks (the four inch ones, i lvoe the 5 inch idea). But I think that it makes your bike look like a mid 80's mx'r. just my thoughts.

Bryce how come every pair of forks you ride are too soft, yet you are 95lbs? Stavrons ere too soft, and so are sik50s. hmmm :idea:

Bryce is a cool kid, but need to jump off the bandwagon.

How can the sik50s forks look like a 80s mxer, when the xr70 forks that your are running, are basically identical?

You know. I seriously do not get it, but I think old school 80s bike when I see the forks too. Even though BBR forks look normal.

Oh, I dont see anything wrong with the Sik50s kit. Looks like a good deal to me, but just not my thing personally.

camMCLEAN · Dec 20, 2003

I mis-worded my last post. I ment to say, is why do you think they look a 80s mxer, when you dont think the BBR ones dont. They are basically the same exact thing.

OLDSCHOOL · Dec 20, 2003

Hey Guys,

somebody needs to come out with a set of inverted 30mm mx forks,

for 50's that are fully valved, and stay away from Down hill Mountain bike

stuff.....
