Title: rm 465 frontend onto pe 400t
Post by: PERM250 on September 07, 2008, 07:33:29 pm
Any thoughts on how this bike might handle? And does anybody see any problems with steering or fitting?

what is the difference in fork lenth becaues if they are longer it wont handle to good , you would have to slide the longer legs up in the tripple clamps

Rm 465 have 11.2 inches of fork travel .....Pe will handle like shit . So your better off dropping them off to me  ;)

I've fitted some 465 forks to my PE/RM hybrid and I think that they work well especially after you put stiffer springs in them. You do need a sacrificial tripple clamp so you can get the riser tube fitted to the 465 clamps.
