hrc2002 Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Just a question.. Why is it that forks for our trials bike are not widely sold as a 'part'? For example we can buy virtually any part for our bikes through an importer/dealer or website, but you never see forks being sold or advertised. If I rang sandifords, would they sell Showa forks?

marky boy Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 If you are on Showa forks HRC then a new bike may be in order as TFT says!!! You can buy complete forks and/or stanchions. I enquired about some Showas for my scorpa project (mainly for the colours to go with the new paint scheme!!) but on hearing the price kept me Piolis Give Haven a ring as i know that they can get/ or do have em!! Cant remember how much they were now but i know that they are much more than the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrc2002 Posted June 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Ah, kk. Only asking, not looking for new forks/bike. Thanks for replies!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattzajac Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 One more thing, how often do you break your forks? I'm still on my original set, I guess I'm just lucky. -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subira Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Just a question..If I rang sandifords, would they sell Showa forks? You'd better be sitting down when you ring them, put a cushion on the table in front of you, then you won't damage your jaw when they tell you the price. The Showas are shed loads, I have no idea on anything else - be interested if anyone had a price for GG forks. For some reason I'm thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrsunt Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 Can get you any forks you want, showa, paioli's, maza's. All at a price tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiller Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 We bought a set of 40mm marrazokis, I dont know how that is spelled, which were origional eq. on the last Fantic for $275.00US for a vintage bike project. Other than for valving changes they look just like whats on the new Gassers. That was a good deal I felt. I know the slide tube for a Showa is more than that.

t-shock 250 Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I think you paid about $200 over the odds for those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuessenhigh Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I know that a fork inner (stantion?) is about 110 quid for a Beta Rev 3......from BVM I scratched mine on a rock, and it then kept blowing fork seals...thats why I enquired about a new one, but have since managed to smoothen out my original one.
