Plea for ZX9R fork

    Bugger and bollocks. When I hit a brick on the Bastard12 last year,
    taking out the front wheel rim, it also bent the right hand fork beyond
    repair. Now it blows the seal in a matter of days.

    It is a ZX9R B1-B4 model fork, 41MM stanchion (the chrome bit)

    Anyone know where I can get a slider or complete leg pronto and cheap?
    **** only knows how much Kawasaki want and ABE have none of that model
    in stock as a pattern part. New or used, either will do.

    I had hoped that Simon's 7RR front end would fit but it seems to be (an
    amazing) 11cm shorter.

    ****, I'm going to have to make EOSM by cage or on the RS at this rate
    and I don't want to rack up the miles on the dear old bike.

    Tried a parts search?
    http://www.part-locator.co.uk/
    http://www.uk-biker.net/partsf.html

    Usually turns up something useful (unless I'm looking for GSX600F petrol
    tanks...)

    Hang on... I've given you this advice before, haven't I?

    Not sure, I could spend ages getting the breakers yard run around. I'll
    be in the USA again and time is short. I'll give them a go though.
