A while back I stumbled across a front end from a '95 Speed Triple (forks, yokes, calipers, rotors, m/c, wheel, tire, fender) for cheap and on impulse I bought it. Gotta love Craigslist.
Now that my find is perched in the corner of my garage, I'm wondering what I might do with it (it was after all, an impulse purchase). I know I can slide the forks into the TBS triple trees and I'm halfway to having mag wheels on my bike, but I am curious about other possibilities.
For instance, can I fit the springs (and perhaps other internal bits) from the S3 fork to my current fork to solve the front end dive I currently experience when braking? Are the suspension qualities of the S3 forks much better than those of the TBS forks?
Could I fit the S3 forks and calipers and still use my current wheel to take advantage of the improved brakes? From my reading here it sounds like the TBS wheel should be a direct fit. But is there any problem using the fixed rotors on the TBS wheel with the 4 pot calipers on the S3 forks (S3 wheel has floating disks)?
Other ideas, suggestions, are welcome.
In terms of fitting a three spoke mag wheel to the back of the bike, my reading here suggests that I need an early T3 wheel and either a Trophy 900 caliper/perch or custom rotor. Are there other issues to consider for the rear wheel?
Thanks.
