Pretty much all in the title,
I need to find an early 90's SHOWA forks 45mm Upside down.
CR 125/250 from 89-~92 had them as well as RM / RMX 125 / 250 90/91~95
maybe some HVA had them too.

It needs to have good sliders (no rust or scratches) I don't care about the fork tube, leaking etc...

It's to fix up my elefant - I just need to replace the sliders.

I know ebay has some etc.. but most of the one I find have scratches or look really bad. All I need are the sliders.


thx

thx, let's make sure they are showa 45mm if you find them.
I've seen different reports when suzuki started using these 90 or 91 ?
and all I will use are the sliders and maybe the spring preload, none of the other parts can be re-used to fix my bike.

Thanks for checking, I just see your message now.
That won't work, seems like the 45mm fork started being used on RM in 91.

Thank you for looking.
