919 blade forks
Hi guys does anyone know if the complete 919 blade front end is a decent upgrade for the storm ?.

Wouldn’t bother mate . Better off getting your standard forks reworked .
The 919 has two variances of front end !.
The first being the 1996 & 1997 that uses the same front wheel tho 6 spoke and 16” rim , brakes are the same as the storm .
The 2nd being the 1998 & 1999 has wider yokes thus using different wheel still 6 spoke and 16” rim and has larger discs and bigger callipers .
The only real upgrade would be the callipers and master cylinder .reworked storm forks will be cheaper and give better feel .

You could always do a swap

Whatever you do you will need to have the forks reworked to suit your own bodyweight to get the best from them,

Re: 919 blade forks
At one stage i had two storms and three front ends.
a sorted set of storm forks
a standard early blade set up
and a early blade set up but with WP internals.
the blade fronts look nicer than spindly storm ones but, the first two sets kinda worked the same.
the WP filled units with the bigger brakes completly changed the game and well worth it
i also had another one with a 954 upside down front that i was gona transfer to dori but found the wp normal forks a nicer front end so stuck with that.
