Yep.... YOU STOLE THEM !!! Awesome score...

Some generous, good looking bloke musta put ya onto them.

Gee i wonder who that could be??

98/99 does not sound right. 99-01 sounds right. 96/97-98 sounds right. Figure what it is BECUASE a 98 Fork will not fit into a 99-01 TT & Visa-Versa

Well I finished reading and they are 99 Forks. Thats a great deal for you since they DO NOT have to be shipped from some other continent

I believe 99-02 are the same.

Sweet Deal. Your going to love them!

Cant Wait. Going from stock 1990 forks to these!

just remember you can use a pre 99 wheel but you have to have 99-02 axel and spacers.

yep already sorted.

Some generous, good looking bloke musta put ya onto them..

Glad to have been able to help!


A 2:30:35 bid on a 2:30:57 end...did you snipe that, or just stay up late waiting??

Good deal!!

Yep in the last 10 seconds!

Good buy for $200. A friend e-mailed me regarding those forks, but I did not check my e-mails until the auction had expired. Good for you as I probably would have bid a lot higher.

Who were you going to use to press the stem out/in of the respective lower triple clamps? I have inquired with two bike shops in Melbourne and neither wanted anything to do with it. Both said that the stem was not designed to be pressed out. I was going to give Ballards a call to see if they could recommend someone, otherwise check with a engineering company.

I know you are located in Tasmania, but thought I would ask anyway!

HAHAHAHA @ "Both said that the stem was not designed to be pressed out."

Thats how alot change the bottom steering bearing.

Any good machine/metal shop should be able to do it. I got mine done on the spot basically so let me know if you need help finding someone to do it. I'm in Sydney BTW. I doubt Ballards could help either to be honest but could be worth a try. If I were you I would go to http://www.dirtbikeworld.net and ask about a machinist in Melbourne as 60-70% of the users are from Melbourne. I was onto those forks the day they were listed and we watched em like hawks. We were going to about $450 before we let em go. Strange no one else bidded though as there is 60 odd page views, just lucky I guess.

BTW Welcome from a fellow aussie.

(My machine work cost approx. $200 but I had the top clamp shimmed, stem turned down to size and a grub screw put into the stem, ready a few hours later.)

How glad i am you did miss the bid.. bike shops can and will tell you anything.. most of them specalise in selling boots and fox jersys.
awsome to see another fellow kdx rider on here from OZ. Just spoke to the seller, they will be here the day after tomorrow.
