AHEM !
Now why do I get the feeling that this is gonna be a long-a$$ que right behind DR? Tis’also strange how recently few riders have been wanting to pass me on The BCR and more importantly, the number of riders on that gig doubled in a week to 21? Plus I spent more time towards the back last Sunday and it was the slowest ride we’ve ever had!:laugh:
here you go george here is the dimensions of my lc4 forks:)
Wow fanx fella!
I’ll send that off to All Bikes Engineering for a comparison.
Not much of an up date:
I’ve been to have a look at some forks from a 2004 KTM SM. Big problem trying to graft that leter stuff on. I think that the fork on The Riot are from a 1990 250 crosser?
I’ve signed up and put a thread on www.ktmforum.co.uk in the hope that I can get help or even forks from someone there?
These were on ebay about 300yrs ago. They look very similar. For a Pony I should’da remembered to keep an eye on the sale, as I might’ave been able to use that outer casing to put on mine!:pinch:

I have removed the yokes to find a sleave in the bottom one? I need some USD KTM forks with a 17mm wheel spindle. The fork uppers are 52mm & 56mm (top/bottom).
This image shows the sleave pushed half way out.

I just bought these of fleabay:
They should fit the yolks on The Riot. But the brake carrier is wrong, as is the wheel spindle. If the forks from here do fit The Riot, the whole front end will be sent off to a new contact (/www.surreysupermotos.co.uk/home.html) from Sipermoto, fanx Darrrling!, to sort out the wheel spindle and a bracket for the front brake.
I bet now I’ve bought this front end www.allbikeengineering.co.uk all of a sudden have my old ones fixed!:pinch:
So, my options could be widening?..or I’ve just done a few £’s on summit I cant use?
well you can put it back on ebay if you don’t use em. anyway the riot is worth spending all that money on isn’t it
Poss a bit-o-progress?
The forks arrived today!:w00t: I’ll check them over when I get home, then they’ll be sent off to the fella to make/machine some bits to make it all work…hopefully!:unsure:
a’say ah! lord’a!! let’a da riot’a…rise’a from da ashes…and slay’a da lanes a’ again’a…lord will provide…AMEN!
Amen amen amen. I think everyone is having withdrawal symtoms Sneaky:w00t::w00t:
Will you let the riot know that we are all thinking of it and wish it a full recovery :D:P
Aint you a darling, darling!
I will indeed.
The Riot is feeling so down. So am I. :crying: No wheels (front or rear). No front end (bar’s, forks, yolks, headlight clocks, f/brake, the lot, all off!). The exit part of the zorst is even off the bike…:crying:
I have showed The Riot the new forks that arrived today. Its spirits were barely lifted tho… They fit perfectly, but the wheel spindle brake and prolly the front wheel dont!
The whole lot will be sent to Mr Tattoo on www.ktmforum.co.uk to see if he can make The Riot righteous again.
Reassure The Riot again - just showing the forks without reassuring tlc and a gentle voice may not have been enough - remember this is not just a machine you are dealing with
I feel like a morbid bastard - have you got any other photos of the riot in pieces? with how it usually looks?how long you had it sneaky?
Ok, good idea. The Riot wants to be started up every time I go to my garage now its seen the forks. I have tried to explain that being balanced on a Motocross stand I cannot risk kicking the mota over, it’ll end in A&E!
Not having the end of the muffler on prolly wont make it any louder! tho:D
At least it is responding - it knows it will recover in time. Keep up the reassurance. It’s what all patients need. (xxx to The Riot)
Next you’ll be asking me to change the oil in it?..or put some in!:laugh:
Just looking forward to seeing such a famous bike resurrected and out & about
Anyone out there in the ktm know that can help find a supermoto front brake calliper and hanger bracket to fit this?
