[Pinion]

hello to all

fork seals blew out the other day, so im going to rebuild forks.
looking at Race Tech, valves, springs, bushings, seals, and dust seals.
exciting stuff I know.
tab for all said and done, me doing the rebuild, just under 5 bills O_o

a set of rebuilt showa adjustable forks on ebay, 375 delivered to my house

couple of questions for the masters,
option B? (other companies I can get good profomance upgrades for my forks)
what year model forks are also possible swap
thanks for the input in advance

Unless you're willing to change front brake and wheel parts you're limited to early...pre-99 I think...Monster front forks.

If you update the brakes and wheel you have a lot more possibilities.

Make sure those adjustable forks don't have a 25 mm axle.

[Speeddog]

If you can get a good set of small axle adjustable forks for $375, do it.

Prior to buying, get good pics of the lower front area of the sliders on both legs, confirm the chrome isn't pitted and rusty.
I'm seeing that a lot on the earlier Monster forks.

[Pinion]

the adjustables are from a pre 99 ss
I will ask for pics though.
not apposed to changing front running gear either.

[Speeddog]

Get the seller to measure the overall length of those SS forks, as often they're longer than Monster forks, and may interfere with the handlebars.

You could get some 25mm axle adjustable 43mm Showas.
You would have to source some 65mm calipers, the two-pin style are good, the 4-pad style are better.
You'll need new lines, which isn't bad as you can go braided stainless, much better than the rubber lines you have now.
A couple spacers to adapt your small axle to the forks, and you're there.

yes,
I'm doing a complete rebuild this winter anyway. was hoping to get the rest of the riding season in this year. but things change

[Pinion]

another question for the masters, can I put the adjustable bits and pieces in my tubes, love the anodized gold
not finding ant out there.
Also possible to get new lowers somewhere?

[Speeddog]

AFAIK, adjustable bits won't fit your tubes.

What do you mean specifically regarding new lowers?

[Pinion]

lower tubes, the chrome pitted ones

[Speeddog]

They are available, ~$350 a pair plus install.

Only worth doing for adjustables,  IMO.
