I picked these up a little while ago. Looking to see if anybody knows the brand of the trips and the forks. The hub is off a 185s. I would appreciate any insight.

Thank you
Ryan

What axle, the SX-ish one? IDThink it's Honda forks or drum; Someone must recognize it.

Nice custom triples!

Thanks dc. I plan on using this on my 90 project. The forks are 33 inches long and i cant find my caliper at the moment to get the diameter.

that kind of stuff is hard to ID for a couple reasons...

1. no markings (obviously)

2. its made in a way and design that anyone with a chunk of aluminum, a band saw, and time can duplicate... simple design, can be made with a variety of tools. could be highschool machine shop, or could be big name old school aftermarket company.

the forks used on those kits came from a variety of 70's and 80's street bikes. you MIGHT be able to id the triples if you can ID the forks used, find out what company or companies favored that brand/style of streetbike fork for their kits, and cross reference that with the images in old magazine ads.



...or you could just wait for vealmonkey

I wonder if they are 33mm tubes which are found on most smaller displacement motors frames.

Including old street bikes......

I think the last piece(the nut and washer) is an automotive lugnut for multi-fit wheels, the kind that had oval lug holes so they fit many different patterns

The last pic is a lug nut for a Dodge pickup.I had a 86 Dodge truck with factory aluminum rims and it had this style of lug nut.The front hub is early 185 .The forks are like stated above early honda motorcycle. do the forks fit the triples.

Yes the forks fit the triples. Now i get to order new seals and bearings for the forks and hub.
