totalshell Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin350 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 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.

charlie prescott Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 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?
