Well, sent my forks to Race Tech to get them revalved and set up for racing. Unfortunately, they said that the cartridges looked like they were hit with a hammer. The price went to $960 to make them race ready. I passed.

My question is this, what are my options? Can the Ducati 848 with top and lower triples fit? Ohlins anyone?

Ugh...

Thanks for the help,

JP

I think any tuber forks from 97-02 will fit. I bought a new set of X1 forks for $300 a couple of years ago from a HD dealer's ebay store . The set linked above includes the trees, but are not new.

Here's a new set.

'Course, you've still got to get them race prepped...

Any forks will fit just matters how much fab and machine work you want to do.
pretty sure Xb forks fit into the trees but then you need xb wheels brakes etc. how far you want to go?

S2 forks fit, then you can mount LSL clip-ons above the top tree..... Did it to my X1...

I've got a set of 2000 S3 Showa forks for sale. Looking for $250. Shipped in the us. They look good, but I'd do seals just because of the age.

Thanks for all the help and guidance. I'm trying a front end swap. Won't say what it is right now because I don't know if it will work. Top Secret. haha
