bob,
hook me up w/ sprockets .. very nice guy!!

supernes550 · 05-18-2006, 01:01 PM

cool thanks for the feedback.
reason why i ask is cause the front end he has for the z50 seems to be an alternative to sourcing out triples from japan.
z88r or brad what you think?

They certainly look like nice parts. Those brakes are HUGE!!!

racerx351 · 05-18-2006, 01:04 PM

I think the USD forks are more expensive then the conventional NSR forks, and with a Z50, you really need 55mm offset triples.

Hit me up with a PM and I'll line out the prices on a set of quality triples, forks, and if you want to go with disk brakes, along with pictures.

so the ones Bob has aren't wide enough? it doesn't list the size on the site.

No, it's not the width. It's the offset. With 10" tires on a Z50, you need to have offset forward so the tire clears the front of the engine, especially if you have an aftermarket motor with a longer cylinder and taller head.

the USD forks look to be 20-40mm offset which would be fine, but I personally like the 55mm offset forks better, with 173mm spacing from the center of each fork leg. Easier to source parts and not as many headaches with the braking stuff.

Talk with Bob, he'll make sure you get the right triples.
