Just a quick one to show you the forks i got with my G-1 roller last year




Do you recon they could be re anodised.
My pivot arm looks exactly the same.....any one got a spare.

what part do you need ?

L&R sleaves...the anodised parts, the rest are perfect.

your looking for a swinger to arnt you

dont you need a pivot arm ?

Fukc yeh, i've strugled to find 1.....who's got 1

do you mean part of the rear linkage ? the swing arm ? take a picture of what you need, i have a whole gen 1 rear assembly.

Holey Shit!

I have Never seen fork corrosion at that level - I've seen that sort of thing inside rims many a time, but that is frightening.

I'd be very wary of ANY part of that bike those forks came from. The frame could be corroded internally, if the fork uppers are that bad. Don't even contemplate using those uppers, for you own health and safety. Inspect every thing you use.

Scary Stuff

well to be honest ive used this whole bike..only the forks and pivot arm are rooted...i work for a company...wereaboutengineering in Darwin (yes 1 word)
were we specialise in alloy trays and the like for the motor and mining indistry, i acid dipped the whole frame and then nutralised & flushed the whole thing including the swing arm...there fine i could look right into them and see all the goings on with one of those little camera enema sticks.(yes i forgot its name)

thanks for the concern though.

this is the pivot arm i need.

Hey, maybe you can help me out and do the endoscopy that I'm having this Friday - third one in a month and it's costing me to much!

Yeah, I figured you would have checked everything out - the frames are well protected by whatever Honda's treatment or metal mix is, but I wasn't sure if any treatment would go as far as coating the internal sections of frame.

I am still stunned by the state of the forks - had the previous owner done something silly like removing the original anodizing?

i have the pivot off of a 97 250 if you want it ?

yes please kelroy

ok, let me dig it out.

sheeeet those are just getting broke in by brits standards

Kelroy did you get a chance to find that pivot arm

Hey Asteroid,

Who did you get that Gen 1 off?????

I bought one 2 years ago that had the same corrosion on the forks, and sold it to this bloke called Brendan, tall dude around 40ish. He was going to use his CR500 forks, and I helped him get his motor in by removing the front mounts only.

Im wondering if its the same bike??

Nah...this 1 was from Noonamah....Duglas is his name....cost me a bottle of Cougar.

Kelroy, have you found that pivot arm yet???
