Where's the best place to find/buy fork tubes, or is the best option just to find a take off set from a bike being parted out, etc.?

 

If you are just looking for lowers, I have always got good deals on Ebay. I have never bought complete tubes on there.

 

got a set of brand new lowers off a 2012 road king when with chrome ones at the dealer before pick up bike they looking for a new home

 

I'm not referencing the lowers, but rather the actual tubes themselves. To lower the bike. For instance, FL front ends are shorter than FX front ends. But there's some tubes from aftermarket manufacturers. I'm just not sure of the quality.

 

Have you checked eBay & CraigsList? I got lucky & found new take-off's on this Forum in classifieds...good luck!

 

I was just looking at the under sized tubes as well. Plenty on JP Cycles and a kit is available from BKrider that comes with the tubes, dampers and new seals.

 

FadeToBlack03NT, check out bkrider.com, they have over/under tubes
for about $120. They come with everything but the lower legs. Seals,
bushings and all the hardware. I've bought and installed at least six
sets on my buds and my bike. Xlnt quality!!

 

That's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thanks a lot. I'll take a look!

I think I have the measurements correct but in case I'm wrong and anyone cares to correct me, my FX fork tubes are currently (stock) 24.25" long, so for a 2" drop I'm going to need 22.25" fork tubes?

 

I have a set from BK Rider the quality is very good, had them for a couple years now yes you are correct with the measurements
