Hey, guys. If the price is too much and you are not showing it as all original you can try 'Forking By Frank'. I had two bikes done by him (several years ago and last year) and they still look great. My bikes are all in great shape but not all original. I make them better(lighter and more wicked). Frank puts a small stamp on the tube to ID it as his. This did not bother me. Just let him know the size and length you need and he will cut them for you. Anybody know another source for new tubes? Let us know!!!

    Seeeyaaa.    Ed T.

I called Forking by Frank, they get $96.50 for making the tube. They can't get to it until Setember, plus it is a about a 3 week wait. I am going try Jake first since he has tubes in stock.

Wow!! They have gone up a bit. My 74 Yamaha MX360 has his fork tubes on it. I paid right at $139.00 for both of them if I remember. They are super nice and still look great after many laps and rides in the woods here in Florida. also, //www.vintagedirtbike.com has several types of nos forks. Look up the site. They rebuild stators also for $175.00 with a six month warr. Try them also to see what they got.    Ed T.
