Friend bought a clean 2008 last weekend.

Called me last night and said it came with a "box of parts" he didn't want or need. Some old forks, seat cowl and pegs and stuff.

Made him an offer he accepted and he brought them over this morning.

Had to hide my grin when I saw these forks because I usually miss getting goodies like this. 😁

Well, I don't buy Lottery tickets.

But I recommend that you do.

The ones out of China are probably pretty decent, including color match.  At least you'd have one while you look for an OEM version.

Odd thing on the seat cowl is that my friends 2008 is grey, but came that cowl from a 2007 RWB. 

I've also got a carbon look one from "off shore" and it fits rather nicely.

I just sold a perfect OEM Grey one on eBay last week.

Forks apart for inspection and refresh. Way over sprung for my weight. 

Andreani folks says the 10.3 springs with the kit are for 230lb rider or more. Yikes !!
