Extended Forks
Extended Forks
Hi peoples, thought it was about time something started in this yammy topic lol. Does anybody know what fork tubes you can use for extra length on an XS500 they are 33mm tubes. Hopefully someone has played with something similar and can help me out.

If you get a set of XL forks try to get the clamps as well, I ended up useing 500 I think tripal tree with my KLR forks. No garentee it will fit your frame tho, mine's Kawa. Had to fit diferent bearing caps tho, that was fun finding 2 I could use, they came from 2 diferent steering heads. Remember to ask for the bearing caps ouy of the steering head as they dont normaly give them to you or in my case they had already tossed the frame. If your frame is bear take it to the wreakers to check what fits & also look for something with the same steering stops. Most brake calipor holes are a diferent width also so you may need the matching brake calipor.
Have fun looking, I now have 3 unused tripal trees. Bacca
