[Repair Pitted Forks]

Hi Gurus

 

I have BSA C15 pitted forks. My friend told me to check with Industrial Hydraulic Repair company to 

re-chrome them . I contacted them and they said they can make new fork tube.

which might be much cheaper then re-chrome. and last longer.

 

Is it good idea to try new fork tube ? Is it possible to increase length of fork tube , Do i need to change spring or fork internal etc.

I was think may be i can put some spacer on top nut and keep forks internal same ? 

 

Regards

[Converting Street Bikes To Pre-65]

Hi Guys 

 

I am new to Pre-65 world. Just thinking what street bikes are good candidate for converting from street bikes to Pre-65. 

 

Good candidate in sense of below:

 

• Expense wise ?
• Time wise ?
• Person skills required ?

 

My personal experience so far with BSA C15 , it requires lot of patience and bit expense .

need to change forks/hubs/wheels/tyres/ignition/sprockets/ and offcourse engine mods etc , there are lot of good products in market but expensive  . Is there any Poor's man guide to Pre-65 

 

Cheers

[Scorpa Tys Forks On Bsa C15]

Hi guys

Thanks for your replies ..I am not big fan for disc brakes on these bikes as well .

Im based in Ireland and not having luck to find any suitable Spanish/beamish forks at the moment and have limited budget as some other projects are ongoing as well

My current plan to build and practice it for personal use. may be i will change the forks again once i got proper one ..

sorry one more question .. what is length of fork end to end recommended . I might look for some other Japanese forks.

Thanks & Regards
