Hi Guys/Girls

Ive got a bit of a project possibly in the back of my mind and am wondering if anyone has ever had to replace there complete front forks including yokes, wheel, etc etc.

Where did you get the replacement forks?

How much where they?

How long did it take you to source these?

Basically looking at possibly getting a bike where by i want it to have a 21 inch front wheel and im pretty sure the front forks will not allow it to have a 21 inch front wheel but also looking for dual discs (so most ktm forks are out) and something that can take the weight of a 600cc engine and used for off road. The only other option ive got is the likes of an off road bikes forks and wheel have have to live with the single disc

Yes, see my "Commuter, Adventurer, Racer" thread, although it's probably not what you were looking for, as I used KTM forks with a single disc.

All my bits, apart from the yokes, came via eBay. Whole lot probably cost me ~�1200, but over half of that was buying the yokes from Off-The-Road.


Of course if you want dual discs, a 21" front wheel, and capable of supporting a 600cc bike off-road, then you could do a lot worse than a pair of stock Tenere forks. I might just happen to have most of a stock Tenere front end lying around the garage.

I certainly don't want to undermine the chance of Uberthumper making a sale, but for info - the KTM 950/990 and the later versions of the 640 Adventure all had twin front discs on WP forks... I'm not sure if they are handed or simply two left legs in essence, with the correct front wheel/hub to take twin discs...

That could be an option too?
