 |  Forks? G'day mate, i measured my forks on my TS 185 and they measured 32 mm at the clamps, im lookin for forks that are 32 mm in diameter to bolt in as a replacement, my forks have stuff all travel and are too soft, and the brakes are crumy, so im lookin for 32 mm forks, with disc brakes of a dirt bike of some discription to bolt in over the ones i have now.... so yous who have dirt bikes can yous' please measure ur forks at the clamps and see if there 32mm? dont worry if u dont have disc brakes. thanks. im just lookin for a little more performance from my bike, i also want to do stoppies! oh and while were on suspension, does any one no about replacement shocks for my TS? the ones on the back are pretty dud, and i want some more travel out of them too!  i dont have enuf moeny to buy a new bike tho. so if yous could help me out id be quite apreciative.

| wilbers shocks My friend has the same bike you do and went with the Wilbers shocks. He had the ohlins before hand but wasnt happy after very little miles on them. Wilbers have great quality, theyre built in Germany but the distributor is in NJ. There built to your specs, fully adjustable, my friend got the high and low speed compress. damping otion too. He has nothing but great things to say, so thats what i am putting on my bike in about 2000 miles. They also offer forks for about $123. You should get some info by emailing this guy steve at wilbersusa@yahoo.com. He sent me some pics and pricing for my bike. good luck
