Awhile ago i hit a hill going 60 ruined my seals cause of the corrosion on my forks, i recently bought bent forks on ebay.. no one i can find will fix them.

My bike is a GS500f 2006
I'm looking for reasonably priced Used forks.

i am also looking for clip ons/ Single headlight (thinking about taking the fairings off and learning to stunt)
Rear L.E.D blinker/break light.. pretty much everything on my bike has corrosion.

Forks are the most important!. Thank you.

I have forks from a 2000 GS E....as far as I know, they will fit your bike.

I paid a high price for a 2009 pair with triples and like new steering bearings. Sometimes you pay a little extra when you want something ready to use with plenty of life left.

Really good fork sets are hard to get. Forks get bent so easy when a bike rear ends something. Probably why lots of fork bottoms are out there and only 2 sets of forks - bent - which isn't worth much at all.

Older ones that need rebuilding are more available (none on ebay today). What's your time worth to rebuild forks? Do you have the place to do that and the tools?

Replacing springs in a good set of forks is baby stuff. Just a wrench and can even do it on the bike.

Just my personal preference is buying nearly new, pristine parts at a decent price,  over rebuilding old parts,  whenever possible.
