AT fork conversion finally started

[atgreg]

Operation CR Kayaba fork has started. just to remind you, Im fitting up a 96 CR250 front end to my AT



The CR stem is 4mm bigger in diameter than the AT stem

Original CR stem



Machined down to fit the AT bearings



Cutting the threads for the nuts



Done and the AT nuts fit, excellent





The stem will be pressed back into the triple clamps tomorrow, then Ive just got to wait till the forks come back from being revalved and sprung and we can bolt it onto the bike and sort out the steering stops and a plate to mount the ignition and sort out some sort of front mudguard.

It sure looks like you're going some great work there, I wouldn't have a clue where to even start. What's the advantage these forks will give you then, is it longer suspension travel ?

more travel, more rigid front end, far superior damping to AT forks even if they have emulators like my standard At forks

stem in the clamps !!!,

OK, sunday is D'day, we'll be swapping front ends, hopefully, if all goes well I'll have piccies of the new forked AT. Wish me luck !!

Hello I I put a fork of CRF, the problem was the weight of the motorcycle because the CRF weighs 110 kg and the AT 220 kg, I have of to return the fork at an assistant to put holds and new springs(competences) and to say to you preparations my couté dearer(more expensive) than the purchase of the fork and if you not made not the prépa the motorcycle guidonne

Bonjour
Moi j'ai mis une fourche de CRF,
le problème était le poids de la moto car la CRF pèse 110 kg et l'AT 220 kg, j'ai du ramener la fourche chez un préparateur pour mettre des cales et des nouveaux ressorts et pour vous dire la préparations ma couté plus chers que l'achat de la fourche et si vous ne faite pas la prépa la moto guidonne

Lucas, the forks have been valved & sprung to suit the africa twin. What front mudguard did you use ??
