Hi all,

I need to replace the front forks on my old 07 ybr 125.

Over £100 on ebay for a pair and double that new. :angry:

Anyone recommendations for wreckers in London?

Get them rebuilt it not hard and there’s scorch

What about big day?

why do you need to replace them?

5

The coating on the fork legs is delaminating, I could rebuild them, but the seals would get scored fairly quickly.

So you don’t need front forks, just the stanchions :Whistling:

searching ebay for fork stanchions I found these and only £38.00 including delivery

Sort her out Tim :wink:

Ahh yes! You legend Art haha

National Treasure, but legend is close :wink:

National Treasure indeed ha

Do you think it matters what year my bike is, you’d think they’d all be the same right?

The listing says

but wait the listing also says

Hidden away amongst the 'UK shipping details

you’ll need a pair so this may be a better deal from the same seller

but the price creeps up to £77.00 including delivery

In general, year does matter. There’s almost no such thing as standardisation in motorbikes, and only a vague whiff of consistency. That said, where it’s cheaper to not change a thing, often that thing will not be changed, and fork stanchions are a good example of that (so are disc rotors and regulator/rectifiers). Generally when a thing is listed without a particular year it’s universal (especially on a recent model or one that otherwise has only a few years’ production) it’s probably universal, but it never hurts to check with the seller.
