Title: * Wanted: Front fork tubes !
Post by: GoateeChicken on October 14, 2009, 09:28:49 AM
Hey guys, need both front fork tubes for the 04' GS500, got in a crash and they are bent about 4 inches back. Not cool.
Anyone know where I can get cheap ones, even used but at least fixable/ less bent ones?
I live around Toronto, and if anyone knows if the 37mm forks stayed the same throughout the years that would be really helpful.
One size fits all?  :D
I will pay $100-$300 for the set based on the condition .

No ... they were upgraded from pencil to bamboo in the year 19op. However the 2 are interchangeable. You can also use a rubber band, however for inspection purposes its considered a upgrade.

Get a real suspension ... suspicion. Ineedanap is selling one for a benny.
Cool.

Did you check with bigshot.   I think he might have a 90 GSXR one ready to bolt on.
