I'm sure the program could be modified, but there is more to it than simply changing the diameter or width of the fork tube locations. The stem is cnc lathed to use the GSXR hardware but the KZ bearings. I'm really ignorant about what goes into his triple tree programs, irishwill would be the man to ask about changing things for different front ends.

MTB, yes, including the SSSA/hardware/wheel/shock combined, those triples were still more expensive. Not alot more mind you, but more :blink: The triples were $650 shipped.


How much did that Yoshi nut cost ya? One of your nuts??? :laugh:

That stem nut was $33. It sounds like alot of money for just one nut, but just to buy a stock nut was $28..... so, I figured the cool laser engraved Yosh logo was worth the extra 5 spot. Besides, it brings a nice contrast to the black triples and stem :)

Does that setup have another nut under the triple for the bearings?

Or is that a big bolt threaded into the stem to lock the top triple nut (the Yosh one) after you tighten it down?

I just sent Ben a text message that you are looking for him here. When he gets a chance, I'm sure he'll be in touch. You'll have to forgive me for not handing his # out, I would only do that if he gave me permission B)
