5 of 5 Puch lesson time! Tuesday, April 17, 2018
taco eater : Goshen Mopeds from goshen, IN United States  
These forks are pretty special as they are beefier versions of the forks that were only used on one model of us released mopeds, the standard red free spirit. Like the standard red free spirit, there is no speedo mount, something unique to that model as well as the speedo was in the headlight. You CAN use a maxi type 1 fender with these but you'll need to mount the fender bracket on the inside, so space them accordingly. You will also have to tap them as they come untapped.

Free spirit deluxe uses magnum II forks
Rigid free spirits use rigid forks
Magnum xk use magnum forks
Pintos use maxi sport forks
Swingers use maxi type 1 forks
Rigid Swingers use rigid forks

Now you know your kromags.

4 of 5 solid Sunday, September 11, 2016
taco eater : nash brunelle from portsmouth, RI United States  
these are solid, but a couple things I noticed :

Height seems to be the same as my original maxi forks, maybe a tiny bit taller... there is a half inch gap on the top fork nut that i could have made up for by putting a spacer under the bottom bearing race... youll understand when u get them, cause  u should...

Here's my bigger issue tho : no mounting bracket for disc brake? Looks like the full size EBR forks have it, but these don't. sadness... maybe weld time? I really want disc brake awesomeness, any input from Benji and crew would be great !

Otherwise these are  smooth enough that all the cheese stays on top of my tacos when i'm rippin' at at about 50...

5 of 5 installed on a puch without a problem Saturday, September 3, 2016
taco eater : andrew rope a dope from suttons bay, MI United States  
reused my old bearings, fit without a problem on my puch swinger. the brake/brace tabs aren't parallel, which caused some problems with my fork brace. a vice and hammer sorted that out. had to add a few washers to my axle, wider than stock forks. fits a 17x2.75 gazelle and it looks SICK

5 of 5 chopped! Sunday, October 4, 2015
taco eater : Scrodzilla from San Diego, CA United States  
The one I recently got was the older, long version (even though the description says it's shorter) and I didn't realize it until installing it on my Newport. Now I've got a Newport with full-on chopper steez. Had to use a Magnum kickstand to get the rear wheel off the ground but I kinda dig it, so it's all good.

4 of 5 Great, with some futzing. Sunday, August 28, 2011
taco eater : Jack Pollner from Lincoln, NH United States  
Worked great once I tossed some washers on the axle to keep the fork arms apart.  They wanted to pull in when tightened down and thus wouldnt move.  Easy fix, and these are bomber.

5 of 5 heavy duty maxi forks requires og fender! Sunday, August 8, 2010
taco eater : Tim Seward from San Francisco, CA United States  
i rode these forks w/o the fender because the standard ebr frork stabilzer is too wide and i didnt want to run the og fender as it didnt match... bad idea.. the forks locked up and the brakes locked up because these forks are designed to have the original maxi fender stabilizer with the axle mounting arms inbetween the forks.. not on the out side.. reason being if you tighten the forks down with out filling in the space with either washers or the og maki fender axle braket the forks will bind on them selves and make a slight pizza shape.. this will cause your forks to lock if your negligent as i was.... otherwise these forks rock.. look cool too and ride really nice once set up correct

4 of 5 Switching out my stock Magnum forks Wednesday, July 28, 2010
taco eater : linda from Chicago, IL United States  
These are solid forks that will make you happy. A little more time consuming to put on b/c of the welded on bracket at the top near the top plate. You'll have to take all the wires off the handlebars and weave them through.

One frustrating thing is that the bottom part of the triple tree is powdercoated. Makes it difficult when you have to place the first cup that sits underneath the bearings on, you'll have to hammer it down and remove the powdercoat to make this essential part fit.

Otherwise, smooth ride. Couldn't ask for anything more w/o paying Hydraulic prices;)
