dirtydog 0 Posted October 15, 2013 Purchased my eldest girl a suzuki lt50 i belive its a 1990 model. Im after the front balance weight that helps with the steering ive travelled down the usual routes ebay gumtree etc but nothing shows i have also contacted suzuki directly they said they would look into it for me but i dont hold out much hope lol...so if anyone happens to have one laying about or has any idea where else i may be able to source one please let me know thanks in advance.Ross " /> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadatious 0 Posted October 15, 2013 steering balance weight?what do you mean?not wheel balancing i take it? i can get them lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydog 0 Posted October 15, 2013 Not a wheel balancing weight the thing im refering to actualy bolts to the frame to weigh the front end down due to fact the rider tends to sit nearer the rear of the seat making the stearing light Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madcarper 0 Posted October 16, 2013 why not slide the forks up thru the yokes a bit to lower the front this will put a bit more weight on the front and it will turn in better. or some old motor magnates are quite heavy and you would not have to bolt them although I would put a bit leccys tape round just in case.

dirtydog 0 Posted October 16, 2013 Cant slide forks through the yoke as its not designed like that ....i have considered bodging/fettling/modifying/taping some other kind of weight on..if it was for me to use then i would but as the kids are using it i feel it should be done right dont want any accidents occuring Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gravelrash 0 Posted October 18, 2013 It looks like a resonator block Ross My Bandit has one under the back seat to help with vibration, lots of people take them off. Mine is round, totally different to yours but there must be something that will fit to give weight to the front? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mk 1 bandit has these fitted to the front and as you mention most end up in the bin.Item 12.http://www.ronayers.com/FRAME-MODEL-V-W-C159170.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
