The idea being to get them to align better and reduce the chances of binding and wear around the shocks mountings. Classic and Vintage Suspension (in...

8/23/2019 9:09am Thanks for the tips, that's helpful. I've been having the the binding/non-return you describe which is why I was looking at heim/spherical as an alternative - I'm not just trying to save $40.

10/6/2018 8:37am Thanks for the pointers Stevie, thats interesting, to be fair I'm not sure exactly what year bike these clamps came off - I bought a box full of CR front end stuff so it sounds like the first thing I should do is check what the other clamps are like, I assumed they were all the same. Thanks again.

10/6/2018 7:43am Hi I'm going through the process of fitting some '87 cartridge forks and triple clamps to my '79 Honda CR250, as part of this the steering stop needs modifying to prevent damage to the fuel tank. The 'normal' way to do this looks to be by drilling and adding bolts to the stops on the lower fork yoke, Like this...

10/6/2018 5:16am I'm guessing that's probably because you are using your own PDE triple clamps Stevie, which unfortunately are a little out of my budget at the moment? Regards Mark

8/16/2018 6:23am Hi I have what I believe are Showa cartridge forks of an '87 CR 250 that I acquired with a bunch of other bits from ebay. The only markings I can find on them are a very worn Showa sticker and 'KA4-RHK-1 S' stamped on the right leg and 'KA4-LHK-1 S' on the left leg. I've just stripped them down...
