Looks great I have all the parts showing up this week. I spent about $2300 for all the parts. 2021 forks and new tusk front wheel. I can't wait. I have the tuned fastace forks right now. Wanted more a little more travel and other big reason is real front brakes. I think the brakes are the biggest weakness on the surron. No mater what brakes you swap to on the surron they are still MTB brakes. No where near the right amount of pad surface to stop these things when modified.
May I ask how you feel it changes geometry and the weight added to the front changing the balance? I ride all rough dirt and torn between this and waiting on the arma ext. appreciate you bro🤙🏼
@@goodridehawaii for the Talaria this fixes the geometry issue, it’s as if these forks were meant for this bike. I run them flush in the clamps and it is absolutely perfect.
Tuned fast ace forks from charged cycle works are great if you want to keep the surron low key and have more strength than fox 40s. I would personally go for fast ace forks over yz85 to keep geometry closer to stock and put less stress on head tube. Although for mx and big jumps I am sure the yz85 forks outperform all others.
Nice work, I just regret we don't see more steps at normal speed. I would have liked to know, which washer you put below lower steam bearing. I bought used triple clamp and removed older lower stem bearing which had seal washer installed, but not sure If i need to put another one. Also would be curious if you had any clearance issue between lower triple clamp and frame when steering. I might have to shave triple clamp
I got the 2014 SX85 fork and only one tube incl. Oil and spring is exact 3.5 kg Both tubes got the same weight. The Axle is 240 gram and crowns and steerer is about 1.5 kilo. So it is a bit under 9kg extremly light when I compare to my Stomp Pitbike Fork about 11 Kilos comlplete YCF Pitbike fork is 11,5 Kilos and the famous Engi Pitbike Fork in 800mm version 48/48mm clamp diameter is about 10,5 Kilos and I got a ultra lightweight tripple clamp set on my Engi it is 1 kilo including steerer tube.
@@kobybechor CHRIST, i was gonna say like 25-30k but that sounds almost TOO insane lol.. i know that new white husq 190r bbr put out i think they said that costed 30k . more than a damn car lmao but ya never see another like it so sick
I just did it, paid $400 for ktm85 forks used on eBay, $600 for the front wheel and like $200 for the fender, name plate and grit shift conversion kit. Cost me about $1200 all in.
