I bought a set for cheap off Jireh / Mid-West for the Nightrain. Biggest mistake I have ever made with it. In all honesty a set of 2x4's attached from the trees to the axel would have had more give. It was like a solid rod instead of a compression fork.
Ended up calling the company and they recomended butting light weight oil in them (I think it was 5 instead of 15 fork oil). The right seal always leaked.
These are the 52mm I am talking about and most 52mm you find will be made by the same company.
On the other hand if I was not so cheap and would ahve went with the HD brand or maybe the spike brand I would probally still have my Nightrain.

Here is a pretty good price, chrome or black. Free shipping too. I've never bought anything from them so I can't speak for service.
