I would be in for a set depending on price. If its like regular dirt bike prices I imagine probably $400 a set....

I dont know how much if i feel i got enough i will buy them all dived the price buy 35. I am looking to get 4 pair made not get rich. I dont think to much . Upside down forks work better than reg.All new 2 wheelers have been running them since early 90s . you need a front end off a cr250 Year not yet decided.

Ya The total conv. will be coin. It Im sure they will be a little. less than any other Billet tripple T . It could take me up to 1,000 to get mine show ready. The forks? Im looking for people that just say I Have Interest In This E-Mail me when you get it togather test it and get a price break down. On total kit vers. Clamp Only Lots of work to do . Not lookin for a big name in raceing. Just love cleen work.

Has anyone talked to Hagen about having him make some? I have yet to see him make anything that wasn't Nice. He made me a Custom triple tree for the Polaris 3 Wheeler that I drool over every time I see it. He also made a bolt on swing arm extender for the 86-87 Tecate's. MIK6 had it ( probably still does ). That was awesome also. If enough people are interested I think he would make some. There is only 1 way to find out!!

I plan to make a set of my own triples after the new year. I still need to do a little measuring though, not sure if there is enough room to keep the forks from rubbing on the tire. It should be relatively easy; cut out the basic pattern and then take them to a machine shop to have all the holes bored. I plan to use FORTAL aluminum...from what I have heard (read) it is supposed to have a high tensile strength but will corrode easily. any machinist on here? ever used FORTAL? anyway Ill post pics when I get mine made.
