Anyone Recognise These Forks ?

[Stirlingmoz]

These forks have just been found in the garage of a deceased friend.

He was a lifelong airhead enthusiast and I’m thinking it likely he was considering a front end swap.

But what forks are they ?

Anyone recognise them ?

I said I would advertise them for his widow.

I Googled the yoke number…. Seems like ktm 640 yoke, so presumably ktm 640 forks too.

I may be wrong tho….

Can you get a photo of the calliper mount? Sometimes the part number of the fork is stamped down there

 

[Stirlingmoz]

Thanks both for the replies.

I don’t have the forks in my possession sadly - these photographs were forwarded to me.

I’m wracking my brains but I recall a conversation about converting an R65G/S front end to KTM forks.

Is this a known upgrade ?

Mikeyboy is the oracle for this.
Think he used a custom yoke (Mistacat) - some problem with the offset.

Don’t want to rain on the parade, but is that a crack at about 2 o’clock from the main pivot bolt on the lower pic?

No idea. As I said I don’t have these in my possession.

Just trying to help the widow of a deceased friend move some parts on.

Thought we had sold his stash but it appears she has found some more stuff he had squirreled away

I'm fairly sure they are early Husaberg forks probably '92-'95. Pinch bolts on the front of the clamps always looked wrong to me.
The EVO mx people would know.

i thought that too , it is very straight , and a strange place for a crack to be present.

I think it's a die mark, there's the same on the other side, but looks less prominent.
