    I got the Aprilia SuperMoto forks mocked up on my 86.
    All worked out just fine, using the 2013 250 TC clamps and bearings.

    Nice 86 AE ! I've got a couple.
    Really like the forks and the bird beak front fender. Is the fender and the headlight made by Polisport?
    Like that 86 Husky comp poster too, haven't seen that one before.

    The Aprilia RXV 45mm forks fit my 93 (showa) husky triples. I'm thinking these forks will swap with most if not all 45mm's. sm7.jpg

    I don’t need exact numbers. Can you just measure the exposed chrome of each? Thanks.

    I just found the SXV supermoto front travel 10.83" or 275mm
    The RXV front travel 11.75" or 298.5mm
    RXV forks 37.5" overall length and 12" of chrome

    Only one pair left better get em if you need them!

    The Auto has a new set of forks
    I found it was easier to just use the 93 husky triples and bar mounts, instead of the Aprilia triples.
    Just because I already had everything. Now all husky stuff should bolt right up.

    Thanks! So, I'm thinking SXV would be good for a WR, and RXV for the CR/XC.
