I want to change the forks for a few reason

Reason 1 I like the old honda spree forks they give a nice ride and are easy to control.

Reason 2 My yamaha won't go past 40km/h without shaking in the front I have tried to solve the problem

I checked tire presure,axle bolts are tight,rims not bent,tire is still good,front shock bolts are tight I don't know what else could cause it to shake.

I agree with pauly...adapting Spree fork to Vino is a definite step backwards.
There is a problem somewhere, no doubt, but more than likely it is the tire itself.
Tire may look good, but i suspect you would feel a difference with the installation of a new tire.
Also, don't overlook the possibility of the steering head bearings needing tightened/replaced.
If you want to upgrade forks, spend your money on something NEW aftermarket instead of an antique, used Spree.
I believe the tire will be the source of your shaking...honestly.... :urban:

I will try and replace the tire.

I took the bike in for a safety it was the back tire that was causeing the problem I find it kind of funny I have rode bikes with bent rear rims and have never had any kind of shaking in the steering like that.
