Thanks

LANDING GEAR !!!
KCBMX
What size more aptly.

Do I need the mini landing gear or will standard 20" forks fit a Mini Ripper?

What era "Ripper" is it?

i posted the same thing about 2 years ago and got the third degree and i quote landing gear is the only thing that goes on p.k.s
KCBMX
Brian it is a Loop "Ripper".

I am putting Landing Gear on it, but do I need the mini landing gear?

Mini's or Landing Gear Lites.

Landing Gear or Cycle Pro's are "correct" for loop PK's.

Landing Gear Lites - not that easy to find:

Jet Black
Check out the guy in the left hand corners bike.
I think it's actually a PK Ripper thats been downsized to fit a fast little guy.




You could fit JMC forks to a PK Ripper frame , bitd
No reason not to fit JMC mini forks to your
Ripper frame.
Back then you fit whatever forks you wanted
to your bike.
Back then SE didn't make mini Landing Gear forks
or was only just releasing LG forks in general for
sale.

Matt , Coasty & I are all in there somewhere too.
