brucey Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Dan, Now you've done it! This topic will open up a whole can of worms. Basically it all depends on how much you want to spend. I'm building a Cub myself. The previous one I had had std heavy weight cub forks that I reconditioned. Quite frankly they were awful compared to slightly more modern trials bike forks. This time I tried the following: 1. Bought a cheap pair of Honda CM250 forks from ebay and turned the sliders down so they fit inside the original Cub sliders. This saves making new spindles to mount the front wheel. 2. Bought a gas gas yolk and tapered head bearing assembly that had been modified to fit the cub headstock. This also fitted the Honda stanchions (I made adaptors to go from 32mm to 35mm) Note: You need access to a good lathe to do the above!
