For whom the bell tolls
I just picked up a set of dirt cheap 1999 R1 forks + triples which I'm going to fit to my TRX. Unfortunately the preload adjuster on one of the forks has been ground down a bit... does anyone have a bent R1 fork that they wouldn't mind selling cheap. Replacement cartridges are a bit out of my budget at the moment.
Also after some 50mm clipons and an 98-01 front fender.

It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

Yeh, but not likely to find someone wanting to part out a complete fork, hence why I asked for a damaged one with a good cap.
Thx, will look when i get home :-)
01 R6 is 42mm(?) RWU fork unfortunately.

Yeh... $25USD second hand is pretty good (as per link above). Some wreckers in NZ are living in lala land. I had a wrecker selling a complete R1 front end for $1500 with wheel and discs, brakes, triples, clipons etc. I asked for a price for just the forks triple and clipons minus switches and he said $1200... I waited 2 weeks and got a set from a private seller for $250. I can't see the wrecker selling his anytime soon.I priced up a new GSXR1000 fork cap the other day.

Yup, that is a sad state of affairs with the price of Suzuki parts.I priced up a new GSXR1000 fork cap the other day.

The bikes are cheap, but they make up for it with parts.
I really support NZ business, and not buying off the net, but I see how hard it is to do that sometimes.
