Maxton perform a range of different Fork Conversions to suit all bikes and all different uses, i.e road or race. So far there has not been a pair of forks where we have not been able to improve on their standard set-up.

MODERN FORK CONVERSIONS

At Maxton we believe that in most cases there is no need to change the forks for expensive aftermarket items such as Ohlins or WP. There is always a good set-up in the original equipment, it just needs setting up correctly. Our fork conversions consist of two processes, a re-spring and a re-valve to suit your rider weight and - just as important - bike usage such as racing, fast road riding, carrying a passenger, track days, touring etc. The re-valve is a modification to the damping mechanism to suit the spring rate which allows you to use the correct weight oil so that the oil system is metered correctly. The conversion consists of a complete strip down and service, so we replace seals and also bushes if needed. In some cases there is too much clearance between the "original equipment" bushes and the stanchion, so we machine new bushes to reduce the clearance and stop the seals blowing.

CLASSIC FORK CONVERSIONS

The conversion can be carried out using a number of different methods depending on the type of fork. By far the most popular conversion on the classic side is one where we throw away all the standard internals and start again. We fit all our own damper rods, valving and springs - all manufactured to suit your rider weight and bike usage.
Over the years we have converted many different makes of forks. The most popular conversions are:
- Norton Roadholder forks (as fitted to Seeleys)
- Ceriani forks
- Marzzochi forks
- Triumph and B.S.A forks
- TZ and Early Yamaha forks

We convert and improve all forks - classic, standard and upside down. For more information on what we can do to your front forks please fill in the specification request form by clicking on the Enquiries button.
