Tech Talk / Gold Valves for XL 350 Forks

« on: May 24, 2019, 06:11:58 AM »

I am in the process of building my XL 350 powered special

I want to use the 74 - 78 35mm XL fork , and adapt Yammy IT490 Dual Leading Shoe brakes to them.

The bike will be setup as a supermoto really anyway and see probably 95% of its riding on the roads  , no supercross jumps to worry about for this guy..

I could use the IT forks, but I dont like the forward slung axle look, though I'd be open to suggestions for a fork-centric axle set of forks, especially if the're 38mm ~
 
Anyway, my question is  : are there any gold valve / cartridge emulators and / or progressive springs available for these?
There used to be a site that sold a kind of gold valve and you took the fork tube diameter and deducted 2mm and provided they had that size , it should fit, but I can't find it anymore.
 
Anyway warm regards all.
