Dang with a +4 swinger it wont fit in my truck anymore haha

[SUPERBEAST]

Sure it will, just let the tailgate down

God I hope so! I can't wait!

I have a bottom of the line Works shock on my Tri-Z. It has no damping or rebound, but it was custom made after I answered a bunch of questions over the phone. The only thing I had to do out of the box was crank up the pre-load a couple turns and it seems to have the proper amount of sag. It floats over everything I’ve ridden it over and it’s never bottomed out (keep in mind that at my age fear of flight has set it).

I rebuilt the front and put in a set of progressive springs. It too seems perfect for my style of riding. By the time I had the front end together I’ll spent about $500 ($200 was wasted on POS ebay sellers) and was regretting not going with inverts, but after riding it I’d have a hard time justifying the upgrade. Trust me, you be thrilled when it’s all together.

What makes you think your tubes are beyond repair? As long as they’re straight and not pitted or dinged you should be able to get them in A1 shape for under $250.

I hope you're right.. I'm a bit more nervous about the forks then anything else I'm about to do to it hahah!

Are you replacing seals on the front forks?
It's not that bad even if you've never done it before.
I have a nice seal installer if you need to borrow it...that will save you a few bucks.
Take your time and smooth out any dings with 1000 grit sand paper & polish the forks.
It'll kick azz when you're done!

i missed this somehow, that shock is awesome man! I'm jealous! And its time for a bigger truck lol. My 86 R with plus 6 swinger fit just barely with the gait up on my 2003 F150. I'm interested to see how it looks completed, the black swinger and black spring on the Works shock should look sharp together

As far as I know, I'm tearing both forks down and inspecting the tubes.. If all is ok (and I don't believe it will be) I will be replacing all seals and springs.

If it comes down to it i'll have them professionally done.

I replaced the seals like 3 years ago and they both started leaking oil like a month later and I never bothered to mess with it.

Forks are super easy if you have a seal driver (purchased or made), a good pair of snap ring pliers and a service manual handy. Don't forget to replace the slider bushings if the Teflon is worn. If you've never replaced them I would do it anyway.

I will keep that in mind! Thank you

Those shocks really are awesome, my buddy Gary Crum picked up Dham's (David Hams) built up 250r with a works shock on it and that thing just soaks up woops and bumps. Suspension upgrades are where its at! I had my stock shock redone and added rebuilt inverted forks to one of my 250r based bikes and the difference is amazing. Nothing compares to riding a bike with worn out forks/shock and jumping over to a fresh set up

Your forks look amazing! Did you pull them off another bike?

[JasonB]

this set is actually one of Jason Hall's. He has the Triples machined and uses CR125 forks that he has shortenned about 3 inches and rebuilt. I have a second set that are supposed be shipping to me this week for my 310R bike. Theres a new guy tossing his hat in the ring for producing inverted trike fork set ups this summer that I am looking to have make a set for my 350X. After riding the 500 with these new forks on it i wont go back to conventional cartridge forks. just feels different! I like that they are firm and actually support the beating i gave em so far lol. Plus they look bad ass!

[JasonB]

lol. it hurts to say. hmmmmm

cr125 forks on ebay ~120 per pair shipped

cr125 brakes complete with master line rotor and caliper `120$ shipped
triples and kit was around 600
fork rebuild and shortening by Hall was another 300
