WP forks fitted by Moly / Rallymoto

[michaelmy]

I will post pictures

Just to say a great job by Moly to have fitted WP forks to my HP2

He is doing the same for Mav, but I am not sure what wheel Mav will use.


He has retained the original front brake & BMW wheel & all the original fittings & has done an awesome job


It has billett top & bottom yokes & looks very original

I have only used it on the road so far, but it feels way better!!!

Thanks to Moly!!

Jeh that would be great I du do a lot with brackes I am prity jiged up for the HP2 enduro for sm use and allso the airheads I would be greate if I could du that full time and for a living I have a BMW master mechanich hu helps me aut if I can du it my self at theiry ressonabl prices and a friend hu has been a miller for over 40 years if any body has any wishes I had my hp2 for its mot or tuv as its called in Germany he was well impress he wonted to buy if its posseble ever to buy

i did something similr for my xchalleneg. paid 275 sterling for fully serviced forks and 40 for a caliper hangar

not sure of the tube dia on the hp2 but check top and bottom clamp size and you should find a set forks prob wp or marzocchi that will fit

then if have lathe machine up spacers for original wheel or get machine shop make on up

i did same on my africa twin and then fitted a 4 pot brembo calliper on a hangar designed for wp forks (lot use them on exc bike when converting to sm) worked a charm

bit more work but keeps costs down an awful lot

 

[litelfun]

wp front end

ok the total cost was aboute 800 euro having to buy new bearins distances machined yocke spindel reduced and shorten still a frachtion of what a set off forks would cost you by hpn

Hallo i have a few bracke caliper adapters left over if you wont to fit a 320mm disc with a 4 pot brembo on thier they work really good as apossed to the original 2 pot
