RIPPER parts what are they made from
|
|
Hello glad to join this site.
I have been into BMX for about 35 years and have been out of it for 15 years now. I had many PK RIPPERS in the past and the frame was always to long as i use expert frames. Anyways I just bought a RIPPER and was wondering what the handlebars & fork are made from is the fork CRMO or steel and same as the handlebars are they CRMO or steel. If they are steel where can I find CRMO forks landing gear for a reasonable price? I can get bars but the landing gear fork I would like to find in chrome or white if they make them in white.
Thanks all. I have a 2009 model.
I tried to post in forum but cant figure it this site is so hard to navigate. So I had to in the blog section. Does anyone know why the forums are locked?

Hi Kevin,
First, yes sorry, the forum has had unresolved issues that I have been trying to work out with the vendor. As far as your question, the handlebars and forks are chromo for the '09 looptails. I do not know if SE sells the bars as a stand alone product (check with an SE dealer for that one). The SE website recently posted that Landing Gear forks are now available in a variety of colors and sizes for 2010. Great news for those in need.
Hope this helps Kevin. Thanks for joining the site... it is great having you on board.
