There are one or two members who have fitted 'cuckoo' forks.
When I was visiting breakers to research fitting a disc front brake to my G3LS the Honda RS250 forks looked a good match. However, several folk with whom I spoke (including the breaker who was selling them) told me that the disc brake was 'rubbish'. (Purely anecdotal as I never went ahead with the mod for other reasons).
I think Rob Swift has fitted a pair of forks with a disc brake to a H/W machine................ :?

(I don't know if L/W forks are different from those of the H/W though).

Mine is a csr so diffrent from the two there 1 1/8 i think and the others are 1 1/4 if im right the csr fors are harder to come by. Im not looking for a pure bike so dont mine changing things as bikes far from standered anyway and i want to do some greenlaning and possibly some modern enduro days on it just for a laugh really but it has to look some where near right

L/W Teledraulic forks (used on the CSR's and 350's) are 1 and 1/8" but H/W forks are 1 and 1/4"

There is a set of forks on the old e bay £299.99, look in a bit of a state but could be resurrected. E bay number 264063289743
