Dam man, thats a bummer. I do not think those are lt6's, but the early model sano forks. Id say your best bet is to call sano and see what they say/can do.
LT6 SANO bombshell problems. 1.) sticking 2.) need compatible brake system
2 Questions:
So i picked up a 2005 crf50 with SANO bombshell LT6.
1.) The brake system wasnt working properly. The nipple was broke off and after all day of drilling and re-taping, i got it bleed out with a mityvac. BUt it appears the caliper is not moving...i cant seem to get anything from the brake lever...
any ideas? and im actualy just about ready to throw it in the trash...Is there an aftermarket brake system that will mount to the Sano bracket? most of the aftermarket mount via a SIDEPLATE where this one mounts directling throw the caliper...see pics.
2.) The forks dont seem to be traveling properly. they are sticking a bit and are REALY hard to compress down....when i sit on it they dont even compress. IT almost appears that the whole fork system bends forward...or like a bending from between the triple and frame. what can i do??
thanks guys

The stock brake is either a Hayes or a Hayes clone, so that tells you how well they work. Hayes used to be at the top of the game, but almost every company has better stuff out now.
My brakes did the same thing BTW. This was after the stock line busted. I trashed them for Avid BB7's pulled by an old Shimano XT lever. They're mechanical, but they worked better than the stock units. I'll probably use the same setup when, and if, I get my forks back.
