Anyone know if you can still find the fork springs ? or will springs from another atc or motorcycle work ?

I doubt it's in stock, but you can call to be sure. I just replaced one of these front ends and am throwing the old one out.

Crappy design, only made for 1 or 2 years. I swapped it out for a 200M front end.

did it go right in ? and what about using the same rim and tire on the 200m forks?

I haven't finished the install yet. According to members threads here it should bolt right in. Front rim, tire, and axle are the same.

checked, it is not available nor in stock at any dealer in the country. the nice lady checked for me.
Sorry. I would have gotten 2 myself.
good luck. ebay may be your best option. Also take yours out and send them to Milner, maybe he can do something with them or find a suitable replacement.

I took the springs out and they actually came out with little fuss I was surprised because both springs were caked with wet mud and other debris half way up the springs .

Thanks for calling I didn't get around to itm

There has to be a motor cycle spring or something that could be cut to fit surely someone on this site has tried .

It's really the dampener that goes, springs still good. Like when the struts are bad on a car, and you can make them bounce like a lowrider.
200m swap bolts on, but you need the 200m hub and brake assembly. Width is the same, but the pin for the break won't line up in the shock.

I have a broken part on the spring on one side it will still work though ... there is one fork on ebay for 250 more than I paid for the bike lol

Welding a spring will take the temper out of the spring in that area, which means that area isn't springy any more and could also become brittle from heating it up.

Can't find any replacment springs so I hope it holds .
