    rg150 forks and front wheel replacement?

    Hey there =D

    I had a minor accident on my rg150, and sadly i need to replace the forks and front rim =[[[

    I was curious if anyone knows anywhere good to look?

    Trademe, yess! Already looked. But the closest thing i found was a rg250 front wheel n forks (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=168708382). Would these fit? How would i find out with out actually having a look at them?

    Just any suggestions at all would be appreciated! I would alot rather fix her, then have to sell her for parts =[[

    Cheers!
    Tom =D

    Hay bud...

    Should fit no prob' but ask the guy to check the o/d (outside diameter) of the fork where they clamp onto ya tripple tree & measure yours to see if they are the same.
    My RG150 fork's fit my RGV250. But it would pay to measure first before you buy.

    SOLID,

    DCNZ, if the forks fit, will the rg250 wheel fit as well? Or don't u know?

    Hey tom, you live close to this guy. I think you should take a look at these. If they are in good condition and only need seals done, then that might be the way to go. It is worth taking a look to at very least get an idea what is out there. I'm looking forward to getting your bike back on the road!

    Yep, and chances are high that if you are buying used forks especially off a wrecked bike you'll be doing that job soon anyway....
    Plus I don't know the condition of the rest of your bike, but original parts will keep its value but making it into a bitser won't.

    Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that, who cares? ...He's a mile away and you've got his shoes
