The bike has 35mm fork tubes.

Threadless headsets are used to accommodate threadless forks, which were created because threads compromise the strength of the fork tube.

A starnut is installed into the forks and the SCS is placed over the fork tube.

A compression bolt is screwed into a headset cap and is placed into the fork tube from below.

The headset cap is larger than the inner diameter of the fork tube and so catches and compresses.

Generally employed in pairs, fork tubes (or "stanchions") link a motorcycle's front wheel to its frame.

They were small implements that attached directly to the front fork tubes instead of the traditional handlebar and gave a forward crouched more aerodynamic position.

By using an equaliser tube, each inner fork tube requires a small hole to allow the air in.

The two fork tubes provide no damping or suspension.

Turn signals were now mounted along the fork tubes, below the level of the headlight.
