Hi there

Can anyone help me? Ive just bought a bantam fitted with a set of hd forks.

The springs are fitted on the outside.

What i need to know ,there seems to be no springs inside the forks,is this right?

Also where can i find a exploded view of this

kind regards

wayne

not right.. the hd ( hydraulic damped) forks have internal springs etc they came from the 175 bikes. ( according to my very old bantam book that makes the magna carta look like a reprint)

Hi Wayne,

From the bantam handbook.

FRONT FORKS

There are two basic designs of front fork fitted to the

D14 Bantam range. The fork described on this page is

fitted to the Supreme, and the fork fitted to the Sports

and Bushman models as described on page E4.

(Bushman and Sports)

The front forks fitted to these models are of an even

simpler design than those fitted to the Supreme. The

fork spring is on the outside of the main fork tube,

which dispenses with the need for restrictor rod and

fittings.

I can send you a pdf of the handbook if you want one.

Hi Guy's,

Hi Rusty,

Do you intend to ride this machine in competitive trials? Is it a trials bike?

If the answer is yes, I would think about replacing the forks with something more suited to today's Classic Trials.

I know it is wrong, but that is the way it goes now-a-days. Yamaha Perhaps? or MZ?

Regards Charlie.
