I thank you! the pkxl forks have a threaded top and no cut out for the headset bolt (thats the new zealand ones). you can fit a primavera/ss90/old stlye head onto them, but the thread needs to be ground down a little. it still needs a thread for the bearings, but not all the way to the top. best to get a old stlyle fork and compare. im thinking of getting rid of my pkxl2 cases (single cable type, not the best type, but ok) all setup for fabrizi with their massive 6 petel reed block. not sure waht the post would be, but it would save lots and lots of engineering work. if you are interested, ill post some pics. paul |

the PK fork differences have recently been covered in "Forks & Disc Brake" on page 2 of the technical section. Three types, PK50/80/100 similar to V50, 16mm, etc, PK125S 20mm & PK125XL 20mm.

MrG, you show me - i tell you. Fournales do an SKR damper that would fit But f*****g SIP as the genereal importer do not consider answering customers questions relating this a their major duty  I personally would go for an standard ET4 damper or ZIP (~15mm shorter). Fournales: ZIP SP avant: length 240mm Art-No: SA090066 cu m ;D |

Paul,the easy way to tell is that XL forks have a T5 type neck while the standard PK's are like the PX type.
