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

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! :daumenhoch:

 :LolLolLolLol:

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

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  :)

Them kastan forks are sooooooo ugly , why ohh why

Bit like cutting your arm off to see if its better or not  :uglystupid2:

The only advantage to that is changing a tyre  :LolLolLolLol:
