Default FXR fork ideas....

Have a '91 FXR with 41mm wide-glide, dual disc forks, with a 21 inch wire wheel. Not the best fork setup for a performance type bike.

Would like to use the fork tubes and sliders, but with mid or narrow glide trees, and a 19 inch cast wheel (OEM).

Have not been able to find trees for this application

Any ideas? ....... thank you

That bike in your sig looks as if it has upside down forks! How about swapping them around, or doing the same again?

Hi Graham, The bike in the pic is my '92 with mid-glide Italian Ceriani forks.....an expensive way to go.

Was hoping to use as much of the described fork set up as possible. Dollars are a little short at this time.

Appreciate your input.........

There's lots of mid and narrow trees for 41mm forks, but they run $400 and up.
