Hi Guys n Gals,

so I ordered replacement fork legs from Brooks Barn, for my 1987 UK Kawasaki AR125, B3 model and their part number shows as 44013-1100.

The parts arrived but have a diameter of 26mm, where as the original equipment fitted to the bike is 30mm.

Can anyone please confirm what size (and part number) is correct?

AR125 front forks are 30mm

Assuming for a Kawasaki, i would suspect the BrooksBarn ones appear to be off something like AR50 or AE50??

Hi Shaun,

that's just what I thought, that they would all be 30mm jobs. So let's see what Brooks Barn come up with!

Thanks again for your help.

Please let us know what they say.. Part number looks correct but not the actual part. Its naughty when pattern parts use manufacturers numbers..

Same problem with clutch levers... Many don't fit the AR125 properly because they for earlier version of KH125/GTO125
