4 of 5 Made these work on a Safari MT400 Wednesday, April 1, 2020
taco eater : Anonymous Person from Louisville, KY United States  
Haven't ridden on them very long but I was able to make this work on a Safari MT400. I cut the metal tabs off of the fork legs that bolt into the lower yoke of the triple tree. After that they slid into the safari triple tree smooth and clamped right down. We'll see how well they hold up over time but they already feel a million times better than the stock fork legs.

2 of 5 Too Bad Thursday, September 1, 2016

Put these on a stock Tomos. Great and beefy for about a year, but slowly started to fail. The hard plastic tabs that fit in between the legs and the tubes broke off causing the legs to rattle and the metals to grind against each other when riding. I suppose we could slid some old rubber in between to prevent rubbing, but a bigger problem emerged when the lower triple tree started traveling up and down when riding. The lower Triple Tree DOES NOT have adjustable tabs to keep it in place. We found this out the hard way after disassembling the forks, tightening down the top nut and the race, adding washers etc. This is, by far, the biggest down fall to these forks as they are otherwise beefy. The instability of the triple tree makes the forks extremely unstable. My wounds are still healing from a crash caused by this. Back to stock forks? Really EBR? This is a HUGE oversight in design and for $120 they should be quality and last years. Extremely disappointed and a complete waste of money.

3 of 5 Meh, go with the other forks Saturday, August 15, 2015

These forks are decent. Better than my old stock ones. I'm going to have to make my own brace because people only make them for the A55 style fender mounts (horizontal). I bought them 5 years ago so never noticed until now. I'll probably just throw a fender on it. If I was going to buy forks right now I would spend the money for hydraulic forks without hesitation. Much better ride quality.

Steertube is too big. Be prepared to machine your crown race down, or grind off the powdercoating on the steertube.

Other than that, these are a nice replacement for stock and handle much better at higher speeds. If you want the real deal I would go with hydraulic forks.

3 of 5 Nice but... Friday, April 16, 2010

Love the forks. Better than stock although Id go for Tomos hydraulic forks if I could do it over. It is a bit too narrow so I have to grind my brake plate a bit.

5 of 5 puch...no Wednesday, December 23, 2009

thes forks do NOT fit a Puch... ok they do.  but it requires cutting and welding of the actuall fork tube between the triple trees.  So without extensive mods, they won't work.  I just loved them too much to pass it up.

I agree with jonathan that the steer tube is about 0.5mm bigger so you will definitely need to break out the ol' dremel. Another thing that really bums me out is that the handlebar mount holes were drilled crooked so now my handlebars are mounted with a slight curve to the left, wtf? I would have returned them for another fork, but it took a week to get here and i just wanted to ride.

Other than that they are pretty good...

4 of 5 good replacement Friday, September 11, 2009
taco eater : jonathan from chattanooga, tn  
I bought this as a replacement for the stock fork on a targa LX that I bought wrecked.
The steer tube is about 0.5-0.7 mm larger than the steer tube of the stock tomos fork, so the races need to be ground down just a little bit to fit.  also, i think this fork is a bit more narrow than the stock a35 fork. and finally make sure to snug everything down nice and tight as it feels a bit more squishy as far as you can twist the handlebars and hold the wheels straight with your knees... with everything tightened, it is a lot better but still takes some getting used to compared to the factory set up.
Happy with it though as it is a good priced replacement for my busted factory fork.
