    100R Forks

    by Mach13 » Mon Oct 18, 2004 5:43 pm

    One of my 3 bikes is a Honda 100 and I bought some BBR suspension for it. The back shock was fabulous, but I was EXTREMELY disapointed in the front springs. They bent my forks! That is hi-dollar damage. Im very disapointed, and I want to warn any of you guys out there looking to purchase the front fork springs. If your planning on jumping much, BE AWARE. :!:

    welcome to crf's only (feel free to create and account and stay awhile). i'm curious about your post. are you saying the bbr fork springs bent your forks or are you saying that jumping a crf100f ended up bending your forks?

    I'm saying that jumping with my 100, WITH the BBR springs bent my forks
    They had never bent up until the point in which I put the BBR springs in.

    if it was me BBR would get a call QUICK! so why dont you call them, or do they even guarantee their work?

    i'm not sure that the springs are to blame...just thinking through it i don't see how they alone could have bent your forks. i'm guessing the new springs allowed you to jump bigger jumps...in other words go higher and farther than before...creating forces that exceeded the forks design? just guessing here...one thing is true...the crf100f was not designed for jumping and new springs aren't going to change that.
