    Good job Billy! The stock 85 Z forks look week compared to those USD's. I didn't realize 80cc MX bikes these days had such heavy duty forks.

    Remember your going to be running slightly different geometry due to the leading axle design of the USD. Or are you planning on turning the forks around for trailing axle?

    I can't wait to see the finished Z because it will look right.

    These are the only forks I've found in the 80cc range that are larger then the Z ones. I think I did find one pair that was 39mm but all the rest were puney 34-35mm in diameter which wouldn't even be an upgrade IMO. I'll probably keep the leading axle design for now. It wouldn't be hard to switch it around if i so desire at a later date though. Its definetly gonna be some R&D going into these to get them done right, but when I'm done between them and my works rear shock I ought to be able to jump off a cliff

    Looks good Billy, Im in the process of getting a set of inverted front forks to put on my 426. I need the extra length since Ill be running a 10 inch front rim and 20 inch tire
