Fork swap

I couldn't find any info on this. Anyone know if any tubular forks can swap with the stock forkers? Probably won't be doing it to mine (at least not anytime soon), but it would be good to know. Thanks.

Hah that would be interesting. The question is "has it ever been done?". This would surely fall in the Strange Dreams thread! I don't have a CB160 to compare frame necks with but I wonder if you could put a set of CB forks on it? I think the forks on the CA95 are very capable units myself so I haven't even thought about it before. The originals just look so cool though!

This guy might need some fork tubes on his bike, but I'm sure he prefers the cool looking originals.

The big beefy forks are one of my favorite things about this bike. Kshoban hows the build going?

It's been at a stand still for the past two weeks. I have been busy with classes and waiting for funds. Looks like I will start getting back into it a little bit today or tomorrow. I'm dying here! I haven't ridden a cycle for around 6 months and the weather here is beautiful!

I hope you get to riding soon, once that itch gets going its hard to scratch it with anything else, I bet when I was in SF it was around 67 and when the wind blew it felt like air conditioning...I miss that weather

Yeah SF can get quite windy. I'm actually 25 miles south, and it was really windy today. The itch is killing me!!! I just ordered a new battery, so I will hopefully get her fired up this week. Still have to wait on a few funds for other bits and pieces. By the end of next month, I want to be cruising. Hopefully school, money, time, and the girlfriend will allow me too. Haha.

I'm not sure of the make but this was done to a Benly Super sport back in the 60s, perhaps Ducati forks.

Check out what I ran across the other weekend. Anyone want to take a guess at what bike this is?

its just like the cd175 on craigslist in my town!

It's a Yamaha of some sort. I forget the model. How much is that CD175 you speak of?

Looks like the early honda rip off styles, like the big bear or rd2 or something or another like that...I always thought the lettering and numbering names seem to be way less memorable than named cycles. I always find myself thinking such as wtf was a crf or a csx again? It's annoying.
