Hey guys,

I am slowly but surely trying to gather the parts necessary for a late-model 17'' front end upgrade for my FJ1100.
Having a bit of trouble finding the parts though. I found this set of 93' forks at a local car demolisher, however, they want close to $350 for the set which seems a bit high to me... or what do you think? What is usually the going rate on these things?



Also found this set of FJ1200 header pipes (yes, the prospect of not having any pipe rattle AND polishing the stainless steel pipes, is very tempting...) for $100, seems a bit more reasonable, to me at least...



Just trying not to get ripped off, what do you guys think?

$350 seems pretty steep.  I'd hold out and keep searching eBay.  You only need the lower sliders, not the triple clamps, nor the stanchion tubes.  I'd advise don't buy any more parts than you need, or have to buy.
