Forks, front wheel, brake set up. $150. The master needs a rebuild or swap the rest is good.

Working at the Lend Lease site on North Terrace (new medical school site). There's a chance I may be heading back to Melbourne in the coming weeks.

I reckon the 125 has smaller diameter forks than the 250.

good point Tex, I know the 125x is 35mm so any chance of triple clamps? me mate got back to me and said yes interested, oh by the way Im going to the Oarora site start tomorrow (shutdown) so long hours and only the home computer, all the best. cheers

85> DR250S is 35mm and disc but they probably could be a little too short?. 85> DR250 enduro model has 36mm and disc but a little harder to find but would be longer. Pretty sure late 80's DR125 is disc and 35mm too. So is DR200. I would probably be looking for a DR200 set if you wanna stay 35mm. Keep in mind its not just a matter of whacking on a different front end. I you care enough about geometery, handling and travel you should measure up some forks first to make sure what you are thinking of fitting will be suitable as front ends can vary a lot in length even if they are same fork size and from a Suzuki.

Thank you for all that info and you are on the money, Scotty will fit and tune suspension to his needs and I will pass on the information, cheers

No clamps, but these forks fit the stock 82 XR500 triples if that helps. Got the number I'll call him soon.
