Title: 43mm Yamaha forks.
Post by: firko on November 21, 2012, 02:42:52 pm

I just got a bit lucky, scoring these IT490 forks for $19.99US. They've only got to be shipped from Bakersfield to Long Beach (Penrith-Sydney distance) which should be pretty cheap. They should owe me about $50 landed. Cool.  Has anyone got a set of triple clamps to suit? A TLS backing plate?

Damn, I'll be needing a set of these soon.  I need to pay more attention to ebay  :(

Are you getting them shipped over in a container?

Yep, that's correct. I'm getting them shipped with my new old Maico and a couple of pipes I've purchased by container.

They're replacing the 38mm forks on my IT250H Brad. I thought I'd trick the old girl up just a little to do a couple of vinduro's next year. I don't know what the difference is between the IT and YZ forks but I doubt it'd be much, I'm interested in finding out though.

How much do you want for your triple clamps Brad?

If Curly can't help then I should be able to next week, have a 490 brake plate coming that I only want the alloy arms off, will swap the steel arms off my 465 onto it & it's yours if needed
