Front shock problems

Post by tng21 »

My friend is in need of some front shocks for her H model. I cant seem to find any anywhere so just wondering if there are any other forks that can be used?? Say out of a 750 or sumit?

She's had her seals done loads of times and they still keep going wrong so she just wants some good forks as its just not worth doing the seals again.

Any help would be appreciated as she needs to get her bike done either this week or next and we just dont know what to do

Cheers in advance

Heres some on eBay, not sure if they will be in better condition than the ones she already has though?

If they are the ones from Barton Motors they're shagged, don't touch them.

I've personally been through his entire store room looking for a decent pair and they haven't got any - I bought the only two that weren't pitted to f*** last month.

H model fork legs are 1mm thinner than the L.

^ Yes you can't use L forks on a H.

Disks are different too.
