WHAT FORKS CAN BE FITTED TO A TIGER CUB SCRAMBLER, IS BSA C15 FORKS SUITABLE , WANT TO USE CUB 19,, FRONT WHEEL THANKS
-
I think bantam heavyweight forks would go straight on.
-
thanks for the reply , any other suggestions , thanks
-
if you have the nous to adapt bearings, alter the stem length and diameter, then anything you like. Anything not for that model of Cub is going to need some fannying with anyway.

They did make a scrambler version of the Cub. Check the spec.

thanks again , the scrambler used heavyweight forks one inch longer,was told they used the triumph t21 forks , also,, any of these are looking hard to pick up ,
-
As memory comes back I think T21 or T90 forks were used. I think all C series forks (350/500) are similar, but changed over the years. That may broaden your search. Good luck.

It depends what you want to use it for,if you just want good suspension ,fit modern forks.i fitted suzuki dr 125 forks to a bantam a few years ago,transformed the handling,and cost very little,but you need a lathe,welding kit etc.

thanks for all the help , just want to build a scrambler and re live my youth ,was told today by an ex scrambler that they used bsa c11 c12 forks and yokes as they were at a different angle and that gave longer wheel base ,
