Front Forks Replacement - Martin11175 - 13-08-15
Hey all,
So frustratingly I only replaced my fork's oil seals last week and now the rust on my chrome has already destroyed them again.
As the local shop says about £150 + labour to re-chrome, does anyone know the part-number / name of the piece I could replace (inner forks of FZS600 2002 model) as they seem to be eluding me on ebay.
That or a recommendation that I should just take the re-chrome option?
Any advice gladly appreciated,
Martin

I bought a new stanchion on ebay, was £100 I think and slightly different material to the OEM it isn't quite as shiny however is allegedly "10% stronger". I'll try and find the link, only thing is you have to remove a part from the bottom of your old OEM stanchion and then press it into the bottom of the new one and knurl the edge over to hold it in place. I took it to a garage and they only charged me a tenner which was nice. Other than that, I would probably get new bushes while you're there but its up to you if you think your old ones are okay.

This one looks like it comes with the shuttle maybe?? Doesnt actually say (weird thing in the bottom)

This is the one I got I think, although mine was a different British company called ABE. You will need to get the shuttles installed.

Both similar price when postage is considered, hope that helps!
