Need advise on forks

bent a tube so i'm going to replace it. should tubes be bought in pairs. how about the guts/spring. should i buy the entire assy. or are some internals better than others

Forking by Frank out of Evanston IL makes the best tubes Period! This company has been making them since the 60's...This is the #1 fork in the world yes rebuild both side...might want to go to Progressive suspension for the springs and I would have the lower legs checked and refurbished if there are a lot of miles too

,once again,,,a financial issue! if you can afford to,,replace both tubes w/the finest
component's there'in....if not,inspect All front end part's thoroughly and replace any in question......after all....steering and full control are important to your survival...Good Luck
"dirtman" maui

the other is very slightly bent too rolled it on glass. seems like 10-15 thousands. i'm thinkin perfectly straight is a must. am i correct

yep replace them both and have the other parts checked too!

called forking by franks can get tubes for 195.00/pair, plus $22.00 for shipping. these tubes are noted for being much thicker, they really enjoy a great reputation. i'm going to order progressive springs thru fast eddie for 79.00 includes shipping. how about the bearing and other internals

you can also check out demon's cycle inc. I just got that 41mm wg 12 over from them for $439 free shiping. whole assembly.

good move... great parts!
.how many miles on the bike or the front end? If the legs are in good shape on the outside just get a bike shop or somebody that knows what there doing to re-bush them ! have them assembled...and install the springs, the correct amount of fork oil and but em on the bike! Don't know of any shops in your area ! Now if you were in Denver or Milwaukee...

i've checked them out alot. thing that concerns me is i've learned when it comes to bike parts u pretty much get what u pay for i'll be interested to hear what u have to say after u ran em for a while.

about 20 thousand i'm going to try to do my own work, seems simple enough. my sliders are in great shape. is it as simple as it looks

I'm thinking that they sell the stuff that doesent pass the inspecters, first front end there was a little blemish on the chrome, first seat had a blemish on the leather, second seat had some scratches on the bottom of the pan, new front end, haven't found any blemishes yet, the mirrors seem to be of good quality as with the side mount lic plate tail light, I actually saw in the new j&p that they are selling the tripple trees alone for $450, but for the ride the forks seem to handle pretty well and I've hit soome pretty nasty hole's, but I've had pretty good luck with there stuff and will continue to buy it. good luck!

i like em too. bought a fork brace, but noted the chrome is,nt holding up well. be interested in hearing how yours does:devil:
