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.

Re: Forks aren't so smooth after rebuild
 

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

...you can't say ******s here...?!?....sorry aboot that...

...I thought it was a polite way to say jerk off......

Re: Forks aren't so smooth after rebuild
 

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 :rolleyes:

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