Ct70 KO fork upgrade

[sparkle]

Hey guys.
Got a K0 and doing it up. Thinking of upgrading the forks, preferably want to keep the standard fork/headlight brackets so it looks mostly standard. Do the following go into K0s or any other options?

If you want to keep the bucket and style of the K0 they won’t work

You just missed the thread/discussion from last week on a set of inserts for the K0 that includes damping

Let me see if I can provide you with the link

That’s the one - I was struggling on how to copy the link. (The repeat is a test)

Hey was gonna order a set of these;

Anyone tried them?

Click on this link, and read thru the thread. https://lilhonda.com/index.php?threads/fork-options-for-71ko.21473/ In post #28, CT70_Scotts ended up ordering 2 sets, same as in YOUR link.

 

[sparkle]

Yeah. Great. Was wondering if anyone had tried them out yet

 

[kirrbby]

We were looking forward to CT70_Scotts' ride report. But, the price is right.
You should just buy a set, then you can give us your opinion too :--)

 

[sparkle]

Hah. Yeah. Would prefer not to be the guinea pig, but may have to be!
These will def fit a K0?

I was lookin for that answer too. As best I could tell, they DO look like the right size and length. I'm thinkin these will be a good part. The trick might be finding replacement seals for them. But I bet they are out there, Daytona's seals might be correct. I think these are knockoff's of the Daytona legs.

Yes still waiting on mine two sets to show up from Belgium...they shipped the 7th. They hit JFK the 16th there is no update since then I was hopeful for this week, but who knows.

I will post pics as soon as I get them, and will be doing some static testing with a scale and a press. But no riding any time soon in Michigan for me!

 

[sparkle]

Just ordered a set. Hopefully they're good!

Hey did anyone else try these off motorkit? Mine are shite. Have minimal travel (most of the time none at all).
Could also be that something else on my front end is bent I suppose, but I don't think so.
Will probably look at doing a webbike front end one day.

In the link above, post #42, CT70_Scotts tells us they only have 1⅛" of travel. Sorry that I didn't bring that to your attention before :-/

 

[sparkle]

Ah well! That was my fault for not reading properly!

 

[kirrbby]

Oh I see now...you ordered them up soon after he did.
Wonder if they have too much fluid in them, or something that could be corrected.

Maybe try dissecting them...see what's inside..?

So looking at other posts i still haven't found anyone who sells a stock spring or heavy duty spring for the KO front forks?

 

[kirrbby]

The doc has aftermarket springs. You can send a email and ask if he can vouch for them.

Yeah i seen those but i was thinking that they must be really weak springs for that price? I don't know.

Yes I ran these on my K0 for the summer they are disappointing, motokit version that is. It acts more like a rigid front end then anything. They look cool as they make the bike sit almost as high as a K1. But between lack of travel and to stiff I would not recommend.
