For $200 your not gonna get much better if any. Most 70 forks or sp5's (bbr version of 70) are going around that price.

If you haven't already change your fork oil and get stiffer springs for them. I read on here you can use crf80 damping rods and that will increase the height and travel. I have some sp5's with 20wt oil in them and they feel alrite for what they are.

I looked rite over that Hahaha. Its still roughly 320 us correct? That opens a few more options but someone from this side of the pond will most likely want more for a decent set of forks due to shipping charges.

If your 70 forks are stock I say do some changes and go from there. Then maybe save a little more for a better fork in a few months.

You could always go to fast ace forks. I've heard with alittle oil change and tuning them work real good

Do you know which fastace forks will fit just not sure what size head stock fitment i need?

[crf50kid309]

I'm not really sure. I could take a guess but I don't want to be giving you the wrong info on the size. People on here will know and will tell
You

You could add XR80 damping rods and some heavier oil. Its a noticable difference for cheap.

I agree. I'm running that setup & I like it. I'm sure a 500-1000 dollar fork would blow it away but for less than 150 it's nice. It's a solid 1.5-2" gain with the 80 rods. I have a cheap fastace shock on the back & it's 100 times better than stock. That's 150 for 80 rods & bbr sprins.
