Presently in the middle of a 1976 Harley Davidson SST250 restoration which was progressing really well until I found out that the lower alloy fork slider on the disc side has internal damage.:frown: Does anybody know where I might be able to find and buy a replacement "Betor" lower fork slider, or failing that a complete replacement set of forks, Betor, Ceraini, or Marzzochi it doesnt matter which... i aint bovvered.... as long as it fits an SST250cc or 175ccc as I believe they are interchangable.
Many thanks
Roger

Just confirm (before I get too excited) The SST250 had a front disc brake and not a drum brake which would make it an SS250, if yours has got a disc brake then I'm on my way to Norfolk:60277EB7B04744289C0

Thanks for trying but it seems that you have the front end off an SS and not an SST, :frown: will call tomorrow to discuss further

Cheers

Re: Harley Davidson SST250 front forks

Roger, I couldn't reply when you posted because my books are temporarily packed away (DIY) but I thought you'd like to know that I own a 1976 SST250 parts book with 76/77 supplement (european part number style) if you need anything looked up?
I also have 1976 SS175/250 parts book for comparison? I also have a 1974/75 SX175/250/SS250 workshop manual.
