I've been searching the web for K9 Forks...no luck. I really only need the Fork Leg set, not the tubes...buy if necessary I'll take it all. Any help is appreciated.

Second Chance Customs
Glad I could help
Ordered it this morning. Last one! I've been purchasing every Chrome piece on the bike but some cannot be found (Struts, strut plugs, front belt guard) I found one transmission gear plate but it was $1,000...passed on that) I'm sending everything to Spacecoast for plating...even the new stuff. I want to have a ceramic Coating application done but want the bike restored as much as possible first. Thanks again.
Doing it right is expensive but worth it in the long run. Will be a beautiful bike you will enjoy for many years to come. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Good luck
Thanks. I'm already over $4,000 but I've done everything I can think of. I have a couple more items to buy, License Plate, and Forward Controls. The first picture is Eric's bike, used to work with Donna. I really like his Forward Controls but can't find them. Second pic is a Tribal set...looks new and half price at $500. I sent the guy a message asking if they will fit my bike...hasn't answered yet.
I'm going to remove my tank and fenders, take them to my paint guy and have them buffed. The previous owner broke the original flame painted battery box covers so I need him to paint a new set. He is Savannahs exclusive Harley Dealership painter...excellent air brush artist so I know he will do a great job. After painting I'll take those pieces to be ceramic coated. Once the bike is back together I'll take it back to let the finish with the Coating. Coating is around $1,000. Buff and paint I estimate at $2,000 -$2,500 because of the air brush difficulty. I have about 20 pieces to send to Spacecoast. I HOPE around $2,500. When finished I think it will look better than the day it was built.

I went ahead and got the Tribal set off ebay. They were brand new...half price. Got the matching Rear Pegs for $45. Great deal.
I'm kind of old but I'm still in my PRIME.
I'm just old!
Found a set of used Strut Plugs this morning from a BIG Dog shop in Sweden. They have a few hard to find items on their site.
Yeah yeah yeah, 62 aint old man. Im staring @ 63 so no, you aint old....yet. How old do ya feel in ur head is all that matters. Im about 23.
Well I do still THINK I'm young...however, my body doesn't always go along. One thing for sure, I'm still able to ride.
Question about forks. If I buy tubes, do they slip easily into the downtubes?
New downtubes.
Narrow did a great how to on rebuilding forks.
