    Probably a long shot but I had a semi fast low side in turn 4 tally 2/24 and twisted the front fork tubes . If any one has a line on a pair please reach out . Thank you in advance and cheers

    How soon you need? I am headed to Bike week and I have new from when we used to race them a lot. They are silly expensive, I think retail was around $500-$600. Id do $400 for the pair plus shipping from Pensacola

    I hear ya! I highsided mine and got the plates and pins as souvenirs :p But I was really heartbroken that it happened. The insurance company let me do the buy back, and I ended up putting another 30k+ miles on it. Then that last recession hit us hard, and I sold that and my 400. Luckily was able to get the 400 back when we resettled and stabilized. But the hipster that bought the triumph had already butchered it up:mad: Hope R-B gets you the stuff you need to fix’r up, and hopefully next time I’ll get to check it out:beer: It’s my 2nd favorite bike after fzr400’s:D
