CR 125 forks, caliper fixing

Post by nicko » 11 Sep 2013, 16:53

Hello,
I've got a pair of 1992 cr 125 forks which i plan to fit to my Mk3.

The forks will fit in the yokes but i can see that i will need to change the spindle/axle to suit and also that the brake caliper bolt holes are in a very different position.

Can anyone tell me how to get a front caliper fitted in the correct position?

If i get a compatible spindle will that be likely to fit the standard crm bearings?

thanks :-)

You may also need to change any mix of spindle, bearings, spacers as well, particularly if the original CR spindle is bigger than 17mm.

speedodrive might be a issue as well. with my cr 125 91 forks i had to make a spacer/cover for this when trail tech was set up. can't remember if standard forks had a groove for it to sit in
