Is there any info or a link that tells what /5 /6 or /7 front forks, brakes, and wheels will interchange? It seems like I saw one once, but I can't seem to locate it now. Thank you.
I'm not aware of such data, but I know these exchanges are made all the time.
Exactly, what is your model bike, and what would be the object of such an update for you ?
1. From experience I can say that many of the fork sets, even from the early K-bikes, will adapt onto the Airhead. Most of the issue has to do with the distance between the headpost bearings. So start with the dimension of the frame's head post. That is to say, the measurement of the frame.
2. If the envisioned swap has to do with 'better braking', then there is a lot to consider. You'll want the latest Brembo brakes, but that purchase will need to include the front wheel with discs... as well as the forks. What then will you do (if anything) about installing a matching rear wheel ?
Hope this helps.
Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
