Default Fork Tube source

I am looking for a source for quality, longer than OEM Fork Tubes.

Any recommendations?

I personally have never bought from this place but I hear people on here talk of bkrider. I think that is the name. There is and ebay store and he sells fork tubes of different lenghts. Prices seemed good. I am sure others will chime in.

BKRider, you get the fork tubes plus everything internally, in other words
everything but the lower sliders. Xlnt quality. About $120.

yep, frank. been around forever. anything you need. if you know a good machinist, fork tubes are dirt simple to make, with a machine of sufficient thru hole size.

I have a lathe and could cut mine down if I wanted shorter but I don't know enough to venture to scratch build a pair.

Franks it is! I like the fact that he hard-chromes them.

I have heard that some people will add an extension for only 2" but I don't like that idea.

Will I need longer damper rods as well? or just raise the oil level the 2"?

Apparently neither of the above is required
