Thundercat forks in a 3en2
Hi,
i'm thinking of putting thundercat forks in my 3en2 as i know they will fit straight in, but can i (hopefully) use the fzr wheel and spacers (or get spacers made)?
anyone know? anyone done it?

Re: Thundercat forks in a 3en2
I think you'll need to swap the yokes over too. I'm sure the Thundercat forks are bigger diameter.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: Thundercat forks in a 3en2
The forks are 41 dia so they'll fit in the yokes but you'll need the front wheel etc because the spindle is a larger dia. That might be an issue if the yokes have a different fork spacing.
You could look for a front T'Cat end, and it should drop straight in but you could also look for a YZF750R front end because it's lighter.

Re: Thundercat forks in a 3en2
The forks will fit in the yokes fine, but the FZR wheel uses a 15mm bearing and the Thundercat forks use a 17mm spindle. It's doable but I;m too drunk on g&t to answer properly now!SteveO916 wrote:Hi,

Get the T'Cat front wheel and discs etc. around 80 to 100 pounds, often with a good tyre, online.
Makes for an easy swap!
