hi blackjack ive been on evilbay for hours now and gettin really stressed as i really dont know what i really need,im looking for a set of upside down forks for a gs650 trike project and cant find any long enough which brought me to this idea would you ever consider doing a article on hybriding upside down forks and convential ones, to say make them longer in 100% biker as i, and probably some other folk know very little about the internals of forks and i for one would be gratefull thanks dude :) :)

Look, I'm still trying to find the time (not to mention the forks...) to see what the difference between "cartridge" type ones and "non-cartridge" type ones is.......
If you want gurt long ones, bear in mind that 8" of travel on a trike with 5" of ground clearance isn't that good an idea. :eek:
So trail bike/MX ones will need the travel limiting. At the least.
Dunno, is the short answer.
ok thanks bj, point taken about excess travel. will keep on searching have been told that speed tripple has longer forks so im gonna check this out, later dude

if yer building a trike, get a set of leading links made, not as pretty as a set of fat telescopic forks, but then the telescopics wont work properly on a trike, where leading links will!!!

Though, that said, if you want to know about making "conventional" forks longer, I think that should be in the next issue......
