GT250 - Fork replacement / alternative

Post by Tom Garcia »

I posted this in BMBI as well...

If you need replacement forks for a GT250 but don't care about them being original, try a set off a Hond* CMX250 Rebel... They are the same diameter as the GT forks and the axle diameter is exactly the same as the GT as well... No shims, special bearings, or else to adapt the wheel to the fork lowers...NA-DA...

Cut down 82 GS1100 rotor, 90's CMX Rebel 250 forks and caliper, stock GT250 hub... use the stock GT mushroom spacer and the CMX straight (LH) spacer....

They're only a mm smaller at 33mm.... How different are the lower triple and stem?
