That thing has been listed a million times.
Honestly, I think it has been rooted by those mods. The GP2 is quite possibly the best loking MX'er of all time, but those forks and that swingarm are plain fugley.
But I will be happy to cream my pants anyway

I have known Randy Lewis for many years. The man knows how to make an
Ossa rip and live too!  He's good on Montesa's as well.  A typical California racer,
he just can't leave anything stock, although his mods do work well.

An impressive list of mods. Would these be legal mods in Oz? I wonder how he increased the fork legs in length - I can't see welds although there is obvious machining at the top of the legs.

"FORKS:

   Forks legs extended 3” with specially machined aluminum peaces, with Bronze bushings, legs line bored and machined centered for more overlap.

   Longer fork tubes, 2”

   Marzochi damper rods redrilled for emulator valve. Many hours of time consuming set-up, 9” of useable travel."

As I remember, Randy bought some Betor fork tubes from me and he wanted
the longest pair I had onhand. (pulled up thru the top clamp quite a bit)
No idea what he did to the forklegs!  Could they be a press fit?

Could they be a press fit?

I would have thought any extension would have to be damn strong to have any benefit - the extension would be to work at maximum extension where leverage causing flex would be maxed. Two problems; 1/ to stop the flex and 2/ the flex causing failure. I can't see a press fit meeting this criteria. I even see welding having probs.

Over the top with the race mods Fork etc
 Any model Phantom are still the best looking weapon in VMX
