March 12, 20188 yr Hi Guys Can someone identify these forks. make/model etc ? seems bit longer is length. thanks & Regards Edited March 12, 20188 yr by bsa4life
March 12, 20188 yr Obviously not Trials forks, look Suzuki-ish to me. There is probably a logo or casting # somewhere on the clamps.
March 12, 20188 yr Author @motovita do you mean they are from Enduro ? i want to use with bsa bantam frame. i will have a look again .. Thanks
March 12, 20188 yr If you're going to use those on a Bantam then Uncle Bunt would be the man to advise☺

March 12, 20188 yr Possibly from a Chinese clone called a Flywing MX150 from 2004 Edited March 12, 20188 yr by ourian add some
March 12, 20188 yr Kawasaki, Suzuki, Honda and Yamaha have all used similar types to the ones you show in your first picture. It was a novel way of getting more suspension travel without raising the height of the bike at the front end. The design was first seen on MX bikes and then migrated to Enduro and Trail bikes. You might find that the extended lower part of the leg may foul on rocks and other trials type going, which would be a disadvantage. They probably weigh a bit more than the normal forks.
March 12, 20188 yr Author Thanks @section swept @ourian @potto @2stroke4stroke @faussy you guys are spot on .. it seems like suzuki DR200 etc , i got them for some part exchange. i would like to use them if possible. i have another drum brake wheel as well if i want to use it on bantam . i would like to lower them a bit. i think they still very high for trials bike. thanks again for your quick help Regards Edited March 12, 20188 yr by bsa4life
March 13, 20188 yr Get hold of some steel bottoms from something like a B40 or heavy weight cub and turn the forks down to fit inside
