ARKMXER27 Started a new thread Simons forks?
1/27/2012 3:36pm You guys remember the yellow Simons forks? Ihad a pair on my '80 Husky 250. Tried to ride the thing in the pro class. Husky in their infinite wisdom didn't use clips to hold fork seals in back then, was really fun when they blew... hence the Simons forks.

4/16/2016 5:59pm [quote="drmarkr":eb95f] Ditto for me... I dropped the big bucks (more than Simon's) for a set of the billet machined KYB's, but they were so friggin adjustable that I could never get them set up. Put the Simons back on. Bet you had a Preston Petty front fender and those cool translucent side panels and front plate also, right? Probably ran...
