Aren't these the forks that guys like to run on ZB50's?? Because of the brake mount maybe? Wondering if I should be interested.

 

yes, and they don't come up for sale very often.

 

6 months ago I spent alot of time searching the entire planet for a set of these for my ZB, and up pops 2 pair 5 miles from my house.

 

I've been contemplating whether I want to, or will eventually run a disc brake on my ZB. I had decided that I would not. But I know I'm prone to changing plans where it comes to minibikes.

Questions...If I run the nsr fork, I need the nsr wheel? So then I run a nsr rear wheel too? Does the rear require a different swingarm? Does the rear have a different brake setup?.. Disc?

One modification, requires another, and leads to another...
I probably need to do some research/reading about nsr wheels on a ZB50.

No, not necessarily. You could buy a hub meant for disk brakes and then use normal rims.
On the rear swing arm for disk brakes there's a tab for the hub to stop it from rotating. That's why a lot of guys with ZB's try to find the NSR rear swing arm, since it has the tab on it. You can also buy aftermarket swingarms meant for disk brake set up. You also need to source new brakes and mounts too though. That may lead to having to weld brackets or other creative issues.

Here's one of my front disk hubs for 4 bolt rims:

 

You have an email.

 

I had a set of these forks with a set of extenders on a CT70. They were pretty nicely setup with brembo calipers and huge disc. I purchased the whole bike from Dan, who no longer frequents the boards. Definitely a nice setup.

 

I actually added nsr50 to my list of searches. To find a beater or a roller seems like it might be a good route to take. Rather than looking for onesie twosie parts and considering everything needed. But again I would be looking for the ZB roller too, or a clone would work. The purist side of me has to show respect for a reasonably nice original.

 

Well Kirrbby be careful what you wish for, I have to ZBs that are going on the market as soon as I get off my arse and take pics of them.

 

Ahh. What happened spiz5? Did you decide you're not a ZB guy.
I imagine they're not for everyone...different kind of (little) beast.

 

Im a Z guy, and still a KTM guy, and recently became a Jeep guy. But really it was the Grom that squashed my desire to ride the ZBs.
