    Hey Guys,

    Just wondering if anyone has access to either a 2 stroke Aprilia RS125 or a 4 stroke Aprilia RS4 125 and can take some fork measurements

    Need outer tube diameters at both the upper and lower triple tree clamp locations as well as the triple tree offset.

    Found pics all over the net, but no specs, from the pictures the triple clamp offset looks to be over 35mm which is a good thing

    peace out

    I tried for a long time to get the RS250 forks but only found one set and the owner wanted an arm and a leg for them. You want to put them on a Fizzer? I added an entry on my USD fork page for the 125. You can often find information on forums where people ask questions. http://litetek.co/Guide_USD_ForkDatabase.html

    Nope I want the rs125 triples potentially for a pair of ZX6R forks which have been travelling in the back of my car for far too long

    I suggest asking on one of the Aprilia forums if someone will measure the offset for you.

    Specs I've got so far from the aprilia forum are 45mm offset (which I can deal with) 50mm upper clamp, 54mm lower clamp (needs shimming) and 180mm fork centre to fork centre spacing - that element is slimmer than I anticipated and I need to check everything from speedo module through caliper spacing and brake disc offset.

    The hyosung GT250 & GT650 triples also look like good potential candidates

    That other forum said 50-52. 180 is very narrow for USD.

    I'm a little sceptical of those measurements, putting a ruler on the screen and checking pics on ebay and elsewhere doesn't quite tally with them which is why I've posted on another forum
