Title: S4R forks... how much is to much to pay? Post by: Charlief on June 21, 2009, 01:55:48 PM Damn... this auction is almost $800!

[cheeky] j/k Title: Re: S4R forks... how much is to much to pay? Post by: rockaduc on June 22, 2009, 12:46:52 AM Nearly $800 is just absurd for used stock take offs. Now if they have been reworked w/ different internals...still sounds high though. FYI, I paid $400 for my 998 fork on feebay.

Title: Re: S4R forks... how much is to much to pay? Post by: DarkStaR on June 22, 2009, 11:38:07 AM I purchased 2 sets of TiNi forks within the last 1.5 years.
1st = $450 8 on a 10 scale. 2nd = $650 9 on a 10 scale. Title: Re: S4R forks... how much is to much to pay? Post by: rockaduc on June 22, 2009, 01:00:59 PM It's all about supply & demand.

Ask me how I know...http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=25400.0 (http://ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=25400.0) I get that, but common sense tells me that unless these s4r forks have been reworked internally w/ ohlins internals or Race tech stuff, then they are not worth $800. I would wait until another set came along or get a set of SBK forks. The conversion is very easy. Title: Re: S4R forks... how much is to much to pay?

I would wait until another set came along or get a set of SBK forks. The conversion is very easy. I couldn't agree more...I think $800 is outrageous to pay. I was just making the point that there seems to be a high demand out there and short supply on the market...kinda like the $1K Cycle Cat rear sets. :P Title: Re: S4R forks... how much is to much to pay?

Yeah, the S4R forks are a direct bolt on, but I am somewhat partial to the SBK units...easier to get and usually less $$$$. Title: Re: S4R forks... how much is to much to pay? Post by: DarkStaR on June 22, 2009, 03:40:41 PM If any one's intrested:
I'm selling my TiNi S4R forks for the DMF price of $1500. :P [laugh] Title: Re: S4R forks... how much is to much to pay?

Sure they are - to the right buyer anyways. Not saying they're a smart buyer [laugh] Adam Title: Re: S4R forks... how much is to much to pay?

When I was shopping for them recently, the supply had drastically dried up. Went weeks without even seeing any for sale, let alone for a reasonable price. Finally managed to bid snipe some S4 forks.
