Hi There.

After a little bump on mine it looks as though i need to change out the fork legs. I'm looking to go like for like so I'm looking for the bog standard axial forks from a Tuono Gen1.

As near perfect a finish as is possible, no scrapes or gouges where possible.

I've just taken a set out of my gen 1, I'll be honest I've not cleaned them then to see if there was any cable rub etc.
Fully working order, not leaking, stanstions pit free, adjusters all working as they should

I can clean and get pics tomorrow if you like.

Around £160 plus postage - next day courier

Sounds perfect.

Have you taken many other bits off the front end at all? Mine got a little squished and I'm trying to find all the bits as cheap as possible. Think I've sorted wheels tentatively but they'll be bare and likely need disks etc

They've agreed in writing to settle at  the cost of like for like model at dealer pricing + travel expenses. I've sent them examples of mine to them but there was a slight difference in price between the fix-her-upper and a mint one.. 


Plus side - I get to keep mine as part of the deal regardless
