Its based on a 35mm tubes and right out of the 70's

Basically, you can use these on any bike that uses a 35mm forks.
You just replace the stock 35mm forks with these babies.

Originally designed and was on a 70 Triumph Chopper.

You can just the top of the tubes short if you want to run them low.

These things are FREAKIN HEAVY!!..
I paid $110 shipping from the US + $46 Customs fees!!

The spring coils & rockers could use a rechrome. The tubes and everything else are pretty darn good.

My plan was just to rechrome the rockers, springs and pike nuts, then paing the body and tubes black..

Id rather not ship it... Did I say that it was freakin heavy?

The forks are all complete except 1 nut for the lower rocker. (Wheel in the pic is NOT included...)

$400+shipping from Toronto
 
sooooo tempting!

I think they would look sick on my xs.
I'll have to see if I can move some stuff.


How long are they?

hey Jeff,
The length of the downtube is 38 inches in length.
It was designed to work with a Triumph or BSA tripple trees, (I do think I have a chromed set)...
But on your XS, you'd just run it past the upper tripple and cut off the extra and put a rubber plug like whats on the top of your XS forks tubes. There are no springs/fluid, etc...etc.. like what in your telescopic fork legs now.. Its just pure downtube.

These were really for a brit chopper and ment to be long.

This would look wicked chopped on an xsbobber, Sr500 brat etc..etc.. not at all a cafe racer thing...
 
i'd like to run them long I'm trying to figure out what I will end up with on the trail and what i would have to rake to keep the length. what is the measurement between the axle and the bottom of the fork?

if you are referring to the distance between the hole for the axle and the hole on the bottom fork tab on the rocker, its about 6.5 inches from center to center.

Being that your xs650 upper tripple has a pinch bolt, you can slide these fork tubes up past the upper tripples as far as you want, (to make it sit as low as you want), or vice versa. On the stock Triumph T120 and the late 60s BSA, the upper tripples do not have pinch bolts. and the top of the fork legs can not extend past the upper tripples.

So once you've lined up the length and height that you want with the wheel you want to use on it with these forks, you can just cut off any extra of the tube that extends above your upper clamp, Plug it up and call it a day... Ive never seen a reverse Springer set up in the city before!!...

Let me know if you want to swing by and see it!
 
Thanks for the info. I'll do some math and see what I can come up with.


I would most likely be raking the neck to get the right trail to avoid too much shopping cart handling ;)
 
yep.. the new owner is going to re chrome the springs, the spiked nuts and the rockers. The legs and everything else will be powercoated black..

Its gonna look amazing wtih the 21 inch wheel!!
 
Be careful. They look cool but they are twitchy as hell riding down the road. The trail is terrible and the weight tries to tame the nasty chopping in the corners. Thus the "70's".
