Fork Pipe replacement suggestions
#1
I need to replace my fork pipes. I was not convinced they were bent after my accident a few years back and have ridden the bike a few thousand miles. The front end definitively doesn't feel right and seems to be getting worse. The right fork seal just went and the more I look at it, the more I'm certain it's bent.

This winter the front end is coming off and I plan to replace the head bearings to roller bearings and get the forks rebuilt with new seals and new tubes, just to be sure everything is tip top.

My question is - I can get OEM replacement forks for $225 ea but that feels really steep to me. The ebay special replacement is about $161 for both. Does anyone have any experience using ebay fork pipes? I know in a lot of cases, it doesn't make sense to buy OEM due to price when quality is similar with aftermarket.
