NOS scorpion forks
« on: July 16, 2013, 11:54 AM »
hey guys

I purchased these forks off someone and they are 1980's  originals - probably 84....
They where used on the top of the range ZX300 (where also used on the pre breakdancer ZF100)

They have another 2 pairs left and asked if I wanted them....so is it worth buying and sticking in the loft
or any advice ??? what are they worth ??? been offered at a tenner each....

advice appreciated peeps

One build a year, the only way to get it right. No rushing involved.

They are from 83/84 onwards as Scorpion were still manufacturing in Chatsworth California in 1980 and didn't switch to Taiwan until about 83 or 84.  Up until the switch they used Tange forks on all their models.
