xs360 fork tube replacement

[chrispyweld]

Hey all. Looking to replace my old pitted fork tubes anyone know we're to get new ones? I found Frank's Engineering (formerly Forking) online but haven't been able to get a hold of them. Anywhere else? Anybody have a clean set to sell. Other options?

Ebay or the classifieds here might work. You probably have the same 33mm tubes as the 400. A nice used set will probably cost less than re-chroming.

Might be able to get a complete front end for cheap.

I saw a universal inverted fork setup from jc Whitney of all places for $75. But not sure how I feel about that. There is one off a xs on eBay for $125 but it's in worse shape then mine.

Are you just searching for 360 forks? I just searched for "xs400 forks" and there are tons on ebay. Just make sure you pick a set with the correct brake attachments (disc vs. drum).

Also makes sure it for sohc models the dohc used a 35mm fork

Cool thanks. Wasn't sure if they were the same.

Good bit of info there! I didn't know that!

Yes, my DOHCs may come off in favor of an '83 650 that will fit because they are 35s too.

I'm not sure 650 lowers will work with your front wheel though.

They won't so we will either take the wheel from the 650 and lowers or change the lowers. Being as I want to do new seals the lowers moving seems best to me plus I like the Maxim rims better anyway.
