So these forks are dead:

Really ground up after I rode it a few hundrd miles with an obviously dodgy box. I'd pulled a really nice wheelie, hit the balance point just right and was looking for third gear and it just wouldn't go in. When it came back down 2 - 3 was fubar.

Pulled the side plate off with a couple of bolts which you tighten up against the cases, pulled out the fork spindle and there it is.

No really fiddly bit, no odd springs and nothing that looks too complicated, there's just a lot of it that has to go back in the right order.

Here's te old forks with the s/h units off ebay. My old ones are obviously knackered but even one of the replacements is looking a bit bent. Recieved wisdom tells me the slightest sign of a scrape and the fork is bent so I need to source one new fork.


I have a new box because my dogs look a bit rough, really though you need a magnifying glass to see the difference in wear on my 50k miler vs. the wear on the alleged 20k replacment. Here's a better pic of the old forks.

Going to buy the bits and bobs I need, few fixings, gaskets and a fork of course. New clutch and cable. NOT a third party cable this time, they are a waste of money. Had a couple, both rubbish so the OEM clutch cable is expensive for a reason.


Any recommendations for where to get the parts? Ideally an online shop with a fiche so I can mull over the bits and place an order on the spot.


Cheers
