steering fork stem size kymco agility 50?
« on: May 08, 2012, 11:01:55 AM »
Hi! ( first off, i'm from finland so my english isn't any good...  ::)  )
This is my first post on this forum and i tried search on this matter. And did not find it.
So does somebody know what is the steering stem size (in millimeters) kymco agility 50? I'm planning to chance the handlebar clamp from another scooter, and its another size than the kymcos's.
thanks for advance!

I did that my self with 2 other scoots I had and yes the size of the fork are dif. So you might have to
change out the whole forks and the triple tree. so things match up.

OT question. What is the primary purpose of the fork brace? stability at high speeds? Does it really work? If so, why are they not original equipment? Thanks!

They do what you would expect on long ram travel high speed bikes. They do almost nothing on scooters except look cool.

I am making a fiberglass one for the ZX. It will attach the same a Billet, but be painted into the scheme of the bike. No purpose except for looks.
