is it possible to fit forks from other bikes to a grifter???

yes it's possible, what forks were you thinking of ?

I had Raleigh Wildcat forks on my custom grifter   there similar to Vektar forks.
I had Raleigh Max forks on it.  But my frame is modded at headstock.  So is shorter than a normal grifter.
Ive got a new suspension fork that has a longish steerer tube.  Going to try that.  

Normal forks on modern bikes have a shorter headstock.  Its actually better if the headstock is longer   gives the steering bearings an easier time.  
Plus most people want the bars up high.  

BMXs that have a Gyro on the headset.  They have slightly longer forks.  Probably not long enough.
Plus its likely that the stem would be a 21.1mm shaft.  So you couldnt use the bar stem from a normal Grifter.  Have to use a BMX stem and XL bars...or normal BMX bars.

The forks have to have a 1" steerer tube.  1 1/8" steerers wont fit.  

i don't mind what forks they are as long as they fit and are same length, i wanna get it on the road as want it for my girlfriend for the summer, and have been doing this project for ages now.

have you guys got any links to places where i could buy some or have you got any compatible forks??

could try forks from an old shopper bike

they have long steerers as well

shopper?

the raleigh shopper, from the same era as the grifters, i doubt you'd get a set of shopper forks to fit due to the reasons i gave earlier. also never really see shopper parts for sale just whole bikes.

oh   are you trying to buy old shopper bike bits

I get them from Cosmic supply

I E   I get given them

Also it doesnt have to be a Raleigh Shopper.
I fitted forks from a different folder onto my Raleigh Denim    fake chopper bike.
They had a dyno mount on.

Hi I'm trying to do a similar thing, to use BMX forks.  I found some for sale with a 131mm steerer length including 43mm threaded section.  Will this be long enough to fit the Grifter?

Cheers

i fitted some bmx forks on my kustom - think the steerer tube was longer than 131mm - could have been something like 170mm   but its quite possible i'm mistaken

i took my old forks down the local bike shop, luckily one of the blokes in there was a bit of an old school guru and ordered some suitable ones in for me!  the younger lads weren't quite as knowledgable though...

here's a link to their website in case you exhaust all other possibilities  http://www.onyerbike.co.uk/

Thanks,

I just found some BMX forks with an 8" steerer on ebay.  They're being shipped form the US and hopefully they'll work!

hope they do the trick mate and remember to post up some pics of your kustom!
