Replacing forks and front brake with other make/model parts

Postby Cbabird » Tue Oct 04, 2016 12:19 am

Hello All Again. Does anyone know of other forks that will work with my triple tree on my 2002 scorpion 660 ( length and diameter wise ) ?

Early r6 yamaha and Honda cbr600f2 have been done but you need the front wheel also. Search for Riverbike posts on r6 with bearing discussions.

Let us know how it turns out.

CBR600 F3 are better forks as they have cartridge, there are lots of 41mm forks to go at, i just ordered a set of zx6r for £45. I am also going to fit an aprilia RS125 front wheel, which is single disc and same size as MZ at 320mm. Same size tyre too. might be some challenges ahead, but it was always going to be a project.

Update, ZX6R F forks are identical length to original Paoli.
