I'm the design engineer for Pro Taper and I know that many personnel in the PT office were on a...

5/15/2020 12:21pm Hi, The fork ring was designed with flex to mount on a variety of common fork diameters. However, your forks look nearly the size of the tree trunk forks that the factory team runs.

11/29/2008 12:35am I met Leticia when she was dating Ben Spies. She seemed very nice then, but I know what a genuine cat Ben is and was not suprised at what a short gig that was! By the way, Ben rips on moto like you wouldn't believe!!! I would bet that with little effort, he could run top 15 in 450mx!!

Turned A in '83 and discovered girls and beer and pretty much shot the ole moto career! HA! My good friend Shane Nalley ended up as a...
