Do Girly forks fit in Steamer yokes? Same height? Same wheel fixings etc? Anyone done that? :icon_scratch If so, is there any suspension performance advantage in this?
None. Trading crappy forks for crappy forks. Spend your $$$ on some tighter springs and valve emmulators.
I've kinda ground a spot in the base of the forks (crashing) and was just wondering if Girly forks fitted by way of a replacement. Not a problem now but in the future it may be.
I reckon finding good quality steamer forks is a tough mission these days.
Agree with you though, some sort of susp. upgrade is probably required either way.
Has the ground portion compromised the structural integrity of the lower slider? I'd be very worried about that. Losing your front wheel at speed will probably kill you. :shock:
There should be plenty of good steamer parts from dismantlers in the UK, I would think. Will they sell you just a lower slider?
I'm with you all the way on the importance of the front wheel.
It isn't a structural problem thankfully!
