Thumbs up Cheap racing?
Can I ask your advice please?

I have the opportunity of buying some 749 forks quite cheap.

1) Are they acceptable for DD racings new rules?
2) Would I also need to use the 749 yokes and are they legal?
3) Would my 620 monster wheel and discs still fit?

May be just my conspiracy theory mentality but since the new rules, adjustable forks seem to be quite rare and expensive!

The answer is no, you could use the forks but they won't fit the standard yokes that you have to keep & not aloud to alter:

Hi Dave,

Where you been?

I've got my non-adjustable Maxtons in as per last years rules and its working well for me. In fact I've been trying to setup the 900ss with its fully adjustable Showas, but just cant get it to feel as good, maybe its because of the progressive springs in the adjustables??

See you soon?

Andy
