Re: Front fork suspension caps

Hi all,
A question came up related to the ivory white colour of the front end of the Arrow on this topic. As I have an Arrow -62 with exactly the same colour but haven't been able to find a code. Does there exist a RAL code close to the one in the photo.
Thanks in advance for comments,
Vesa

Re: Suzuki pistons

Hello Trev,

it's good to know there are +.020 pistons available, since I have one piston/cylinder close to reject limit.

Happy new year 2026 to everyone in the two stroke forum!

Re: Arrow with non matching numbers

Thanks for the interesting information Roger,

Autumn ride on my -57 NH

Riding season is soon coming the end in Finland. After many rainy and chilly days, today's weather forecast showed less rain, thus I decided to take my NH to go and fetch my weekly tomatoes from the neighbouring town penitentiary garden (their tomatoes are the best).
