Title: WTB forks
Post by: J_Walker on March 20, 2018, 03:14:08 PM
looking for some pre-2000 forks. good condition, questionable seals OKAY I have parts to rebuild the seals and pistons. just need the tubes and legs to be solid.

just the fork legs, not the triple tree.

Hello J_Walker,
I have some listed in my partout thread:
http://gstwins.com/gsboard/index.php?topic=70935.0

Kinda flexible on price, they were priced cheaper than anything not obviously damaged on eBay at the time, but I've seen some floating around for less than my $125 since then. Open to offers (+ actual shipping please) via PM if you're still looking.

Thanks,
Mark

cool can you inspect them closely look for pitting and missing chrome where the fork seals actually ride [higher up in the clamp area and above I don't really care about as it doesn't effect much of anything.] last pair I got from ebay set of 90's there was pretty decent sized pieces of chrome missing right under the dust cap on the fork tubes.

I have the parts to rebuild them, realistically I just need the tubes themselves and not the legs, but since nobody breaks down forks and sells parts individually I have to buy whole sets.

Well not "nobody," but the majority of sales are for at least a single tube assembly.

I probably won't be home until April 2nd or 3rd to check them out or mail your way. If you don't mind waiting a bit I'll get back to you with either an inspection report or pictures soon after then.

Thanks,
Mark
