Hi all I am currently restoring a 1985 SR125 and was wondering if it is possible to use the fork stations and internals from a 2001 set of forks as the top ens where they go in to the yokes are different but according to the bible that is haynes it just tells me how to take them off so I am thinking its ok to strip the newer ones and then use the internals and the tops on my bike.

Can anyone help me.

Nigel,

Hi Nigel

I would say its very likely ,though I haven't actualy done it , the only difference is like you say at the top & how you fill / drain them .

One just has an O ring the other a threaded plug .

I think , I just used a large adjustable, with the forks lowered a few inches & held tight in the bottom yoke .
