Ohlins fork tubes wanted

[jr60]

Bit of shot in the dark this one!

Have ended up with a set of damaged Ohlins forks (fg8861 from Aprilia rsvr) , (long story!). Both the inner and outer tubes are bent beyond repair, and I wonder if anybody out there either (lying about the garage floor – as you do) has or knows the whereabouts of the following;

inner 43mm fork tubes (TiN preferably) – around 54cm length

outer 43mm fork tubes – need to be around 50 cm length, consider any upper and lower dia as yokes being milled to fit.

Local Ohlins guy has already scared me with the price of new replacement tubes but the lowers legs and internals all OK so trying this option.

Cheers

Here's a set on fleabay. I don't know if they are even close to what you want.

Had already seen them (they are the correct length) and bid on them before but each time they don't reach their reserve! The BIN price plus postage over here would nearly buy a new set!

Cheers for the reply lads, tried ABE Mick and they have the inners but nearly as expensive as the Ohlins ones - thanks anyway.

For those have offered full sets of ohlins, not really what I was looking for but thanks anyway.

Think I will probably just end up selling of the good parts - leg lowers, cartridges, tops and see if I can pick up another set.
