Baghira forks

Postby Zedthou » Wed Sep 17, 2014 1:31 am

Can anyone tell me what forks are on the Baghiras?,i need replacements,i'm thinking they are KTM units?,the only Baghira forks i can find on Ebay are being sold by a seller by the name of BA Bikes but the price he/they are asking for parts is outrageous!,'Bloody Astronomical' Bikes :shock: !,very much doubt i'll ever put any business their way.

Hi there,
The forks are Marzocchi Magnum forks, full height models used the longer adjustable type, reduced height models and Mastiffs the shorter non adjustable type. They were indeed used on KTM bikes circa 1998.
Most KTM models after that date used much larger White Power forks.

I've had loads of parts from B A Bikes as they are near where I live,

I've always found them very reasonable, they've even fitted parts labour free of charge to keep me on the road as I use the bike to commute. :D

£190 for a set of pitted forks,£35 used clutch lever & perch,£75 used front brake m/cyclinder...cheap...really?,i've been buying used parts from breakers & ebay sellers for years,that guys are way OTT, persevere to find out which other bikes have generic parts for Baghiras & you'll get them for half his asking prices!
