I just picked up a 1998 xr 70 thats pretty effd up. i want to put the forks on my fiddy. does anyone know what i have to get to do this and where i can get it?

 

well u should do this
-put the xr70 front wheel with the forks on and the rear swingarm and shock and rear tire on ur fiddy
-then u will need a nice clamp for ur bars a coulple companys make em like sano and prc

 

Don't change over the the larger 70 wheels. The fiddy motor is too small to turn that back tire. Use the rear swingarm and front forks. You will still need to put stiffer springs in the stock 70 forks. BBR has clamps and I think fast50s even has a big bar kit for the 70s

 

I have an XR70 stock rear shock on the back and i am happy with it.. I have Xr70 "style" forks. The FIRST problem that you are going to run into is that "any" Honda XR,SL,MR forks the headtube will be too long. I have done 4 Conversions. Other brands forks have different sized head tubes. If you look on eBay for any Honda SL,XR,MR 50s-75s you can find a front fork for around $50. SECOND problem is that without proper rear the Front will look Chopper Style, So therefore you must flip the triple over. By flipping the triple is helps to eminiate some of the length and pull the forks up higher. THIRD problem is after you do all this work for a nice fork, you cant use you fancy aftermarket triples.. I will attach pics of this whole process if they are needed.

 

ya can i see the pics it will really help

 

yes, please post up some pics! I've read alot about swapping out xr70 forks, but i still dont really understand what all has to be done.

 

i have all the stock xr 70 **** i took off.. rear shock front springs.. ect

 

This is my triple that my dad fab'd. It is a stock kawasaki kdx80 with a piece of steel cut and welded and rienforced to hold the Fast50's clamp..

 

This is my Head tube showing the side of the forks and the triple trees. My dad cut the KDX fork stem out and welded in the stock Xr50 fork stem. It was a little short but works great..

 

This is a sl 70 fork thats on a bike.. This fork has not been cut down and this bike has stock rear suspension. so the fork looks chopper style, but once its lifted in the back it will even out..
The stock triple was fliped over the make the fork legs higher and loose some of the space on the fork stem..

 

This is the triple, it was made with the stock triple and a piece of steel cut and welded and reinforced to accept the fast50's clamp..

 

This is the rake of the fork. Like i said it needs rear suspension really bad.

 

do u have a pic of the bike as a whole? i want to see what it looks like
