Sticky Forking

[Burns]

Still no luck finding a good FJ leg.

Maybe one of these boneyards has one, or can find you one. http://motorcycleviews.com/maintain/boneyards.htm Not all have websites, so you may have to ring them up.

Patience is the key. You'll find one for a good price.

yeah, that's the ticket. Wonder why it didn't turn up with my "FJ1200 Forks" search.

opps..  The "that's the ticket" reply was meant for the Ebay hit.
But thanks for the boneyard link too.

Mike also had a set he was trying to sell. I see the Craigslist ads have expired, so I don't know if he still has them.

thanks Randy.  I PM'ed him.  I'd much rather buy from a FJmember than a boneyard or an Estranger.

Just missed 'em.  Sold and shipped.

Beware of that set on eBay.  In the first picture the closer fork appears to be significantly longer than the other. 
If you're considering them ask if that fork has had the damper rod allen screw removed.

You know I had looked at that set earlier and thought they looked rough.  I'm thinkin' the bushings are pretty iffy.   
When I got the heads-up here I thought they were a set I had not seen. 

You know what Harry Nielson said "you see what you want to see.."

But you only need the lower slider...

Burns,
I don't think anything is necessarily wrong.  It just looks like they started to disassembly the one fork then stopped. 

If I was looking to do the conversion and the price was right and I could get confirmation that the forks are not messed up, I'd do the deal.

If you don't do it, I may try for a backup set....

From your experience do these sliders hold their tolerances?  These items look abused to me.  If they have been run dry are they likely to be sloppy?

I am not affiliated with this but here is a 1990.  Buy for the front end and sell the motor for a few hundred ?

oh HELL YES!!!

Sell the motor?  Are you kidding?

I love having one mill in the frame and one on the bench.

I'm on the other side of the mountains from this fella.  O got da OK from Momma and I just emailed him.  I'll be truckin' East in the morning if he is still sellin'.

DAMN!!!  Thanks for this heads-up.

I'm new here but I LUV dis place.

Hey Burns,
If you wind up parting that thing out, I'm in need of a speedometer unit that doesn't howl.

Hooligan, did you see Tim's write up on his GPS speedo?

My old speedo is up for grabs...  14,500 miles showing or thereabout.....  $20?

Cheers!
