no they support both ends then use a press in the middle with leather and soap pad while moving it back/fourth and round.

If the stanchions are too bent, the lowers and the damper rods would still be worth something. Damper rods because they get modified to fit emulators.

Thanks for the advice. The stanchions I haven't checked, however I would imagine they are bent. How badly I don't know yet.

The lowers are probably damaged as forks appear to be bent between the stanchion and the lower. However I can't imagine the damper rods have taken any damage - might see if i can get something for those on ebay. Or even modify them and fit them with emulators to whatever I replace them with.

Yss emulators get my approval, much better than standard setup when with ktech springs but a fraction of a gixxer swap. Not as impressive to look at mind

Depends on how much you want for them and how much the shipping is. Oh and the pound has just dropped in value. Rats!

Don't know anyone with a Busa or anyone called Graham

eBay suggests postage from US is over £100 so probably not worth it. Thanks for the offer though.

...they may be next to worthless over here...I am not counting on them to finance very much...

...will it be difficult to find replacements in limey land...???....

...I will keep an eye on this thread to see how you are making out over there...

...if you find yourself in a jam we can adjust the pricing until it is worth it...

...riding that Shadow will put part of your brain to sleep...we can't have that...

...there are not many like us, and most of them are dead...

...Graham would buy you a pint if you said "Hapo" to him...just sayin'...

...I am mildly surprised he has not made a public enough **** of himself on his Busa to gain your attention, but there are a lot of you buggers crowding the place, eh....
