      forking by Frank

      Not kidding dude...... that's really the name of his company.

      Look up xsscooter and have him send you a picture of his bike..... those forks were made by Frank 20 yrs ago...... and yes he is still in the business.
      here's his web address:

      About all he will ask for is make and model tube diameter and proposed 4 over or 3 or etc etc.....

              Check out some off of the old Kaw's. THey use the same forks, just longer. you would have to use the kaw calipers too. I needed parts for my 80 one time. A short trip to the salvage yard yielded a set of forks that were about 6 in longer than stock but the same insides. Sorry I can't tell you the model.

                  Hey there 633Wrench,

                  I put on 4" overs from FbF over 5 years ago, they still look great and work fine! Word of warning, if you don't change the rake angle, then you'll need to extend your sidestand and your centerstand due to the increased elevation! I'm 6'6" tall, so I wanted a TALL RIDE!
