OK hold that thought. I guess my recollection of that chart was incorrect. I've found on one of my hard drives a 58 page PDF catalog for TNK fork tubes which does list diameters and lengths but its going to require a manual search to find the diameter and length that I need - however I have more time than anything else right now , But thank you for the offer ]]> pete376403 https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/7069-Fork-tube-chart Optimistic sellers https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/7067-Optimistic-sellers Sat, 26 Aug 2023 22:00:09 GMT ---Quote (Originally by F5 Dave)--- Um, mirrors?

not as yet, they didn't inspire me with the answer to simple questions when they started, and most of my stuff is so rare it's not easily replaceable. I am hearing good things from them, and ws in wanganui at a motorcycle dealer who restores bikes and they have switched from wanganui to them. I'm not restoring a bike at the moment cause i'm so pissed off with the shit work people do to be honest. Never asked for a price with, just a quality, and i'm also well aware you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear, been restoring bikes for near 40 years
They did one little job for me, which was removing the chrome from a brass fitting. Did a good job, reasonably quick, reasonably priced. would go there again if I ever get started on the old GS1100G resto. ]]> pete376403 https://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/entry.php/7059-Chrome-Plating-Christchurch
