Think i seen the mito 350 with the gibson pipes?? on a bench if i remember both coming out on the right side of bike.

The reasons behind the ducati forks is that i wanted something different everyone seems to go for the rgv fronts
Mine is based on the tzr125r chassis .

The other main thing was to keep the original speedo so needed forks that use the drive and have means to lock it on fork leg.
Im open to other suggestions even thought maybe rs250 aprillia ones

Rob with the 500 Turbo Mito is often found on the board of the 200mph club. The bike on the bench sounds as if it is Dougies
And as for forks, I think the 748 ones are a good choice as Rob is happy with his conversion. What ever you do avoid the Mito forks they only have a spring in one leg and damping in the other, i'm not sure but I think some Aprilia 2-strokes do the same.
forget the TL idea the bush is 32mm diameter abd uses a 25mm spindle
