|
|
Hi guys, I'm looking at a set of YB11 forks for a project - had a couple of questions:
1) can someone measure across the triples to tell me the centre to centre width of the forks? I'm guessing they're on very wide centres given the enormous diameter of the lowers.
2) Seals - are they currently available? I know they're an odd size, but have also read of people modifying imperial 2" seals - is this actually a solution?
Thanks!
Ben |

Hi Ben. Be careful when purchasing these forks. A lot of them are cracked across the axle clamps. Personally I would be looking for something other than the 50 mm YB11 Paioli fork. There are a hundred better options out there |

Hi Ben.
I installed the 2inch seals on mine OK.
However not sure I would be buying a set of forks for a project that have part availability issues. |

Thanks Guys. These ones aren't cracked.
Parts availability for seals (and I guess bushes) is my only real concern - stanchions can be rechromed, the internals are a conventional cartridge.
Anyone able to measure their triples for me? |

Armin at DRT Schneider should have these seals.
At bimota-teile.de he offers them for 75€ a pair. _________________ 2x SB3, Tesi 1D SR |
