Title: 1990 41mm usd fork springs
Post by: fitter on March 21, 2015, 08:51:19 AM

Hi guys,
Anyone know where i can get heavier front fork springs from? Apparently 41mm is an odd size. Is there another bike that runs them?

Thanks in advance.

If nobody sells them update to later kx forks 43 or 46mm forks with clamps , there easy to buy , I picked up a set of 46 mm for 80 bucks , and you have a better platform to start with.

my kx580 super moto is a 1995 and  runs 2004 usd 250 forks and the headstock, only mod needed was a small bush inserted in upper clamp so the original bolt and bearings fitted the later set up. I've had no probe, however the solid handlebar mounting compared to the rubber original set up is at times harsh on a road bike. :-D numb thumbs on journeys over 10mins lol.
