    Well, I really just need the fork tubes, but if you have the whole fork and don't want to break them down I can buy them assembled too. My fork tubes are bent and I'm looking for a good, straight, non-pitted set.

    Thanks,
    Greg

    I have three spare forks, but I am about 4 hours away from Albany and over the border. Let me know if you run out of closer options and I can look into shipping costs, etc.

    A guy in Baltimore PM'd me. I'm thinking that might be the most viable at this point. If it doesn't work out I'll let you know.

    Thanks,
    Greg

    Bump for fork tubes. The guy in Baltimore never replied. Michael E, if shipping to zip 23322 is reasonable please PM me with a total cost.

    Unfortunately, the guy who bought my bike found storage room for my stockpile and took everything that I had in view. I had some stuff put aside for sale here, but not the forks. Sorry. There are a few people up here in Canada who are selling stuff and likely have forks, but I am sure there are people on Craigslist in the US that would be a better deal for you. If you can't find anything down there let me know and I will look around up here.

    Jamie,

    Well, the opportunities are dissolving as quickly as they appear. If I can't find any in a few days I'm going to take mine apart and send them to be straightened. I'd still rather buy a used set that are in good condition. Thanks for keeping me in mind.

    Greg

    If you decide to send them out, here is that place I was telling you about:

    FrameMan - Motorcycle frame straightening, Sacramento, CA

    I've used them before with great results. I normally take everything apart and send them just the pieces. They usually request the stanchions and the sliders just so they can check both halves. Good people and the price is not that bad - cheaper than buying a good used set normally.
