hi guys i have a 2004 gilera stalker with a typhoon 125 rolling nut engine, im in serious need of new forks and was wondering what over forks would fit as i fancy having rwu forks rather than usd's. anybody able to help? i know vx forks is the norm but i have been offered a set of ice forks? any idea if theyd work and what id have to do? cheers kieran
Should be a straight swap. Just put new top and bottom bearings in as well. Strangely enough, I have an ice that the forks are coming out of to be changed for the VX forks, as well as having the engine changed/modded to a 172, bar conversion, tuned etc etc
I'd go with a new set of std forks as the vx forks are to long, to soft and look all wrong. It may be the norm to fit vx forks , but it does'nt mean it's right !
are the ice forks any good then? Also can you get a stem for the ice forks as im running bar conversion too... i would if i could afford new forks hahah its just the conviniance that my mates offered me a set of ice forks that have just had new seals and oil along spare fork legs, very cheap
