    GSXR Forks - where to buy secondhand

    Might have a use for a GSXR front end, not sure where the best place in NZ is to get something like that.

    This guy seems alright: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...658501.htm?p=1
    Anyone dealt with him?

    Any other ideas on where a good place to get a GSXR front end would be? I'm after something along the lines of (all except wheel and rotors):
    - GSXR1000K4
    - GSXR600K5
    - GSXR1000K6 forks and brakes with K4 triple clamps

    The American Ebay site has a few, I figure the more 'commercial' traders that utilise it might be the way to go? Given the dollar, might be worth the risk of not quite getting what I paid for?

    /edit: Pretty flexible. A GSXR1000K2 front end would suit me dandy

    Always nice to have the hardwork appreciated.

    I really should visit more model specific forums... somewhere more generic like KB, you just don't see the crazy guys efforts... something about the model specific forums that turns regular guys into modding monsters!

    Still mulling over the front end... as Cajun says, I really want a radial front end... not that it would matter too much, but if you're gonna bling, you might as bling all out. At least my project management skills are getting a work out, I'm juggling a few balls at once at the moment. I've had some small success on my plug building... shouldn't take tooo long before I can make a mold off it, and start popping parts out

    Yep, had a yarn with him, seems to be the way forward for me alright Just need to decide which bits, pretty sure a GSXR1000K4 front end would be the win, less front wheel and discs.
