Has anyone gotten fork tubes from Frank? Just wondering how they compare in quality n price....???
 
So that should be +2" then.
Fork Tubes
They are priced Per set not including postage.
Your a supporting member so you would see 10% off that if your registered with Wild Steed Worx already and I have your account upgraded.

What length do I need for my 2006 K-9 ? I put the rebuild kit you sent me in yesterday, but found this on one of the forks. I buffed it and it works fine but at the next service I want new tubes in as well as new head bearings. Heading to Daytona in the morning so needed the bike back together for now....

Thats a bummer but these steep angles on our BDs do wear the hell out of fork tubes.
You would need these:
Fork Tubes
We have the bearings and races available also.

Very good, I had a suspicion about 12" over but wanted to make sure. If your head bearings are Timken I need a set of those as well. But how in the world does one replace the race (L44619) on those?
 
They are Timken
On K9 you pop out the cup and then press out the race.
I'm getting ready to put a cool tool on our site for just this task.
It will press races out on welded cups and press out the cup on non-welded cups

I haven't but here is something to compare it against.

Fork Tubes

Don't know what the Mastiff length is but I know I can get them for the same prices.
Dam good price guys. :2thumbs: I have ordered tubes from J & P Cycles and paid way more than what the Curtis asking for a chrome set. :2thumbs:

I had to have my tubes replaced last year. From what the dealer told me forks by frank made the tubes that bigdog used in production.

Finally got a hold of Frank. They aren't cheap, but they are made in Americia. He's asking $191 a set for +2, plus shipping. So yeah, WSW prices are lower.

It in screws. Use a rubber strap wrench. Before assembly clean the threads and put anti-seize on the threads. You should clean them out regularly especially if you ride in the rain

I have used Frank's forks, since the early 70s, NEVER a problem, and good folks to deal with. I am currently running a pair of his tubes, on my Pit Bull, fit and finish ~ PERFECT...
