as the title says, has anyone got a pair? :) a friend of mine needs only the cap, it was scraped because of a failed stoppie! :)) at least that's what i'm saying, just pulling his leg for not knowing how to brake properly even after 10 years of riding. he actually braked too hard thinking he didn't have enough time to stop when a car pulled in front of him. in reality there was anough time to slow down safely. he fell like 7 meters BEFORE the car :)))))) i was right behind him, couldn't stop laughing :))
 
I'm sure your sense of humour was very well appreciated by your mate. Lol.
When I first started riding years ago, I accidentally stoppied on a Honda cb 125 (momentarily distracted by a very short skirt) and head butted the back of a van. Funny the brakes on that cb were fkn useless usually.

well, actually he was distracted by a pair of legs on the sidewalk :))) first ride of the year for him, the first 2 kilometers actually. dangerous combination. he laughed at himself too after a short while :)) he has all the parts needed to repair the bike from me except the damn cap :) and not a lot of milles of any kind in romania...
 
I've got a spare Showa cap, less the central adjuster, if that's any good?

Or if Ohlins there was a pair of seriously bent ones on Ebay being sold by a chap I know, think the bidding hit £250 or so, can ask him if he still has them if you want?
 
thamks for the offer but both adjusters are well scraped, they can't be repaired in any way. as for the ohlins sorry, no need for bent ones :) the only reason i said bent/broken showa is because of the cap, no one would sell a working fork for parts. well, most people anyway...
 
I've got a pair of showas I would sell as the legs have corroded but the internals and stantions are good.

Pm me if interested.
