XJ1100 Fork tubes

[smegsjr]

I am looking for a source for front fork tubes. The tubes on the XJ that I aquired have some surface rust and some pitting and they will need to be replaced. If anyone has a good front end they would like to part with or has a source please ping me at:

If you can't find a set of old ones, check out Frank's Maintenance and Engineering, Inc. aka "Forking by Frank". I think one or two XSives have dealt with them with good results. Here's what their ad reads:

We manufacture motorcycle fork-tubes. We carry past models from the 1950s through today's models. We stock over and under and stock lengths. There is no other after-market manufacturer of German, Spanish, or Japanese fork-tubes. We will ship worldwide.

Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!
