Did i ever see a one side leg fork ?
looks like some one had forgotten to weld the other half of the tubing on and so it looked weird

so did they ever do a one sided bmx fork ?

cheers B

Not many of the Kastan fork survived due to being a tad weak.

Fork and hub come as a set.

I can never understand how its strong enough just supporting the wheel of one side..?

I had one, a 2004 F900 Lefty, ball burnished with a clear lacquer, one of the best bikes I've had.

I still have a problem with one fork leg doing the work of 2 on a MB

A pal of mine rebuilds MB suspension and does not rate them......

You don't need to be a physician,mathematician or rocket scientist to work out that it is just wrong!I think there is a reason for most other forks having two blades!

Looks like its just got back from Kabul..

great bikes, the kastan kex frame is very similar to the early hoff condors

they did improve the forks strength but the fact that you dont see an evolution of these says it all me reckons, i'd race one but hard berming n jumping would be a leap of faith, plus TT's are a tad short otherwise i would have had one by now, love em

Kastan; years ahead of his time

Them kastan forks are sooooooo ugly , why ohh why

Bit like cutting your arm off to see if its better or not

The only advantage to that is changing a tyre
