Talaria Sting “HOW TO” WP 43MM fork conversion

[@dougnoble8720]

Looks great I have all the parts showing up this week. I spent about $2300 for all the parts. 2021 forks and new tusk front wheel. I can't wait. I have the tuned fastace forks right now. Wanted more a little more travel and other big reason is real front brakes. I think the brakes are the biggest weakness on the surron. No mater what brakes you swap to on the surron they are still MTB brakes. No where near the right amount of pad surface to stop these things when modified.

[@DeruginizCLS]

Agreed, I feel like brakes suck even for a stock powered surron. I can’t imagine modded ones.

How do you like the suspension after a year of having the 85 forks on the Talaria

[@dougnoble8720]

I have had mine for over a year. They work great. Don't ride it like I use to because they cracked down on riding on street

[@jahsunshine8891]

​@@dougnoble8720I know what you mean. I stay on private tracks. What PSI do you have in your Air Forks. Sorry, may i ask your weight to? Trying to gauge what range for mine. Thank you for any input

[@dougnoble8720]

When I set them up I had 72 psi. Not sure what if they are same. I'm 230 lbs. But I think my forks were gone through when they were on a 85. I have never used all the stroke. Still have about 1.5" left.

[@goodridehawaii]

That welding a bead on the bearing race tip! Priceless!

[@goodridehawaii]

May I ask how you feel it changes geometry and the weight added to the front changing the balance? I ride all rough dirt and torn between this and waiting on the arma ext. appreciate you bro🤙🏼

[@kobybechor]

@@goodridehawaii for the Talaria this fixes the geometry issue, it’s as if these forks were meant for this bike. I run them flush in the clamps and it is absolutely perfect.

[@Jessedrives]

Tuned fast ace forks from charged cycle works are great if you want to keep the surron low key and have more strength than fox 40s. I would personally go for fast ace forks over yz85 to keep geometry closer to stock and put less stress on head tube. Although for mx and big jumps I am sure the yz85 forks outperform all others.

[@picklethe3rd974]

Ill say it again, best looking talaria or surron for sure. Looks even bettre than a motocross in my opinion

[@Etienne85]

Nice work, I just regret we don't see more steps at normal speed. I would have liked to know, which washer you put below lower steam bearing. I bought used triple clamp and removed older lower stem bearing which had seal washer installed, but not sure If i need to put another one. Also would be curious if you had any clearance issue between lower triple clamp and frame when steering. I might have to shave triple clamp

[@SuggyRacing]

Right, I want one now! Looks amazing.

[@fernandoespinoza6958]

The best in the game!!!!! 🤙🏼🙌🏼

[@petarpetkov8072]

Thants amazing, have you measured the weight of the ktm 85 fork ? How much heavier is it compared to the Fox 40 ?

[@rk-engineering]

I got the 2014 SX85 fork and only one tube incl. Oil and spring is exact 3.5 kg Both tubes got the same weight. The Axle is 240 gram and crowns and steerer is about 1.5 kilo. So it is a bit under 9kg extremly light when I compare to my Stomp Pitbike Fork about 11 Kilos comlplete YCF Pitbike fork is 11,5 Kilos and the famous Engi Pitbike Fork in 800mm version 48/48mm clamp diameter is about 10,5 Kilos and I got a ultra lightweight tripple clamp set on my Engi it is 1 kilo including steerer tube.

[@dougsillers]

Super cool video format... How do you balance the bike with a shock to match?

[@bjornolavsjogren]

That rear tyre looks huge. What is it and how did you get it to fit with the chain? Offset sprockets?

[@JustinBleeder]

Dude you could do my work for me anytime. Very clean.

[@nostamine2567]

what is the upper and lower fork clamping diameters ?? are they by any chance 45mm upper and 48mm lower ?

[@jahsunshine8891]

What Air Psi do you have in them?

[@Mr316jon316]

Did you have to tighten this a ton to get rid of the head slop?

[@windowwasherfpv3485]

Wish this dude was my neighbor

[@LarryRichelli]

How the heck did the Talaria boys from KZbin change forks all the time without a welder. Come on!

[@TalariaTimes]

Hi , is the KTM Stem bolt 22mm ? Thanks

[@RickClaypole-th9zu]

head bearings part #?

[@dellosa461]

What rear shock are guys running to keep up with a wp fork?

[@kobybechor]

I prefer the Vonkat Tenfive over the others.

[@Shmack_]

Damn shoulda kept my wp Apex forks for this

[@Shmack_]

Does anyone know if you can do the same with the rear shock? Add a nice motorycle rear shock?

[@loganburwell_2001]

Yes ext and yss makes a moto shock specifically for the talaria and surron charged cycle works has them in stock

[@Sethfuller13]

What size wheels?

[@wake_mann]

great video and love the bike builds! what are you doing with those fox 40's?

[@kobybechor]

Thanks man! My buddy is going to sell them.

[@malex_05]

read your name for me rq

[@Donotcareabyouropinion]

@ zip up his pants when your done

[@MotoAlias]

The only thing preventing your average guy from doing this in his garage is the fact that you had to weld to get those old cups out.

[@Turbo_JAM]

What about a small cutting disc (Dremel etc)… would take a while though

[@travis8592]

I just did it, paid $400 for ktm85 forks used on eBay, $600 for the front wheel and like $200 for the fender, name plate and grit shift conversion kit. Cost me about $1200 all in.

[@je7647]

​@@travis8592I'd do this if I upgraded the power couldn't justify it with stock
