Hi
Before you go buying pit bike forks you need to check the distance between the top yoke and bottom yoke as I tried this and found that over a certain distance the shock outer casing has a taper or reduction in diameter of a few thousands which would not allow the yoke to tighten correctly
So that is why usd,s are so expensive for minibikes as against monkeys
