What most japanese people do is get the NSR mini fork legs and the G'craft stem. It's a great and solid solution. Sure tuning brands have good forks too but DONT get the daytona USD, i had one and it jumped under its own pressure goodbye 1000 euro fork.

so get the gcraft triple for the z50 and the forks off of the NSR? what's the triple cost? anyone know of a good place to order gcraft stuff from the US?

The NSR G Craft setup is great! There are lots that can be done to the NSR fork to make it plush. you can change the internals, add preload adjusters, etc. Just like a big bike fork.

Tripples can be sourced out of Japan as well as the forks. There just isnt a website you can order them from.

Outside of the Tripples you also need to get a Disk brake hub disk and caliper. I forget how much i paid for my setup as it was a little while back, but hell its still much less then a high end aftermarket CRF front end.

The best part about the NSR fork legs is the bracket options for differnt calipers. You guys are going to freak when you see whats coming for my bike in a few months.

would classic minis be able to get the gcraft triple? i don't think i saw it on there site though. i have no idea where to start in sourcing items from japan. i may just be in way over my head. brad you want to point me in the right direction? pm if you're able to help. thanks

The options that are avaible from overseas aren't cheap - comparable in price with crf50 aftermarket forks.

I dont believe Classis has any of the cool G Craft parts for JDM Z50j's on their site and i am unaware if they will source any of it for you.

PM me your budget and ill let you know if i can help.

SprNtrl · 05-09-2006, 04:29 PM

Classic seems to be pretty much useless for sourcing parts.

Ok so off hand I believe Disk hubs are around 250.00$$ NSR Forks are 300.00$$ even less for used ones. and the tripples are 320.00 to 350.00 maybe add 100 for a rotor and 150 for a caliper maybe if you got a used set of NSR forks you were lucky enough to get the disk and caliper. if not you need to add those in.

so your looking at around 870.00 to 1150 for a NSR front end conversion + shipping.

Again these are not a set number it all depends on actual costs and availability of parts.

still 1150.00 is still cheaper then some CRF front ends.

Like I said, comparable price wise.
