i've gone the PK125 forks with the PX 5 star hub disc brake, the anti dive issue has been discussed on here at some length, we don't use them in racing, and if they were that good we probably would  |

pk fork has anti dive built in daz in so much the shock is not compressed by the brake under load caused by the pivot action of the Vrange and lambretta style fork. Some racers do like anti dive on lambrettas.. young mikey who came 3rd on sunday at croft uses one.  |

I see Mikey was back this year, but didn't realise he was using anti dive, but then again we were quite busy at Croft after James had an off at the end of the start/finish straight. I will be watching his progress with interest but the product in question does look well finished and I nearly bought one, but decided to go the other route. |

I've bought one, very impressed with the quality, just waiting to collect the lever & master assembly fom scootrs tomorrow ( good old FedEx, we deliver right to our depot). Seems a good idea as you just cant buy the old style 4 stud front hubs new anymore. Will post pics on the projects board when done.

i have one. it works far better than a drum brake, and looks pretty good as well. the anti dive works well. but the fork itself is not that good. not quite enough travel. as a road scoot im more than happy with it. but its no way as strong as the pk version i have on my race bike. i can easily lock the front wheel up with that. the biggest problem with the pk is that its strong enough to twist under braking- but i guess thats not a brake problem. paul  |

Bet that bottoms out like fuck with the slightest touch of brake.
Them RMS shocks are pathetic even on full preload.

Pics as requested I must admit I quite like the set up... but we now use anti dive on our race scoot and would not trust the 'clamp' bracket system due to safety reasons, as it may move under stress loading, much prefer a welded lug and flexible joint system. IMO. but for an oldie looks really cool |
