Dunno where you could get em, ring all the nz wreckers, if they don't have them ring victoria wreckers in aussie (at least i think thats what they are called)

they have everythingt, youll pay a pretty penny though.

You were the fella that hit/ swerved for the pinecone, and put it over a fence and into a farmers paddock eh?

If your replacement forks need rechroming etc, I recommend Engine Components at Hamilton Airport. They do aviation hard chrome. Your forks will come back perfectly round and parallel. The guy who does them, Russell Emery, is a biker, too, so he does a great job, knowing what is required
