Twin Chamber GasGas forks for 2010 300R!!!

[Keg]

Seeing as though GasGas didn't think of offering twin chamber forks, here is a conversion on my EC300R 09.

Rides a bit smoother and my laps times were down when tested on the usual loop so I even raced with them on the weekend and found them pretty damn good. The 0.44kg spring rates were a little soft for me but that is easy fixed too as I have new set of Showa forks with heavier springs coming soon for my 2010 300R!

whats involved in the conversion?
and what kind of dual chamber fork did you use?

[PEB]

My 07 came with beefy 50mm twin chamber Zokes with the fancy black dlc coating. What would be trick are the new 53mm zokes.

[Keg]

I used a CRF set of forks, brakes and wheel. The 47mm forks are 1mm smaller diameter than the 48mm sachs, so I had to sleeve them. I used the CRF 240mm disc, but might have to get and oversize (for Jap bikes) 260mm like a standard gasser.

so the stock gg clamps, but with a 1mm sleeve between the clamping surfaces, otherwise just straight off a crf X or R?

[Keg]

Yeah...pretty close. I used 20thou (1/2mm) aluminium shim material for the sleeves. The axle seems fairly tight on the right hand side so when my R forks turn up I might have to lathe a tinny amount off the r/h wheel spacer.
