G'day everyone, I'm a bit of a newbee to the forum, but I have a serious problem with my forks on my 31A -xj900 ! The top & bottom bushes are completely flogged & yamaha here in Australia can only supply the top ones (go figure ) as this will only fix half of the problem ( ther is over 5mm of play in every direction at the bottom of the forks ) I was wondering if anyone knows where I might buy a full set of bushes or know of a set of forks that will fit so I can keep my orriginal tripple trees ? I realy don't want to change the look of the bike 2 mutch ( better brakes would B nice though !!) Any help here would B greatly recieved, It's my daily runner & It fits me so well now I donn't want to part with it !!!
