USD (upside down forks) a.k.a. "inverted forks"

[Aussie_in_MO]

Longer, skinny, traditional forks just don't do it for me.
Stock forks on my '79 XR500 were terrible. Flexed all over the place and made it more of a handful than it already was. Wound up swapping them out for forks and triple tree from a later model XR250 which were much beefier.

Had a similar experience with my '79 XS11 Special. Great in a straight line but really unpredictable and unstable when cornering.
