    Hello everyone,

    Can anyone identify this forks and clamps set up? I know these are wrong but also the hub and wheel is wrong, what do I have here ? So what hub would swap out to suit the wheel and forks ?

    Any ideas ?

    Cheers

    Craig

    Well as you already know those forks are NOT stock Betors which came on early 125/175's & front wheel looks like it's off a mid 70's 250 or 360 Husky.

    74-76, 175 are really just a 125, and the 125's have there own type of front end ,unlike the ones on the 250-360, but they don't look like any Husky ones

    The picture shows betor forks on another 175

    They maybe off a Bultaco or other early Euro dirt bike.
