skydoc_17 Posted November 11, 2008 #1 Posted November 11, 2008 OK First Gen. MK1 owners, here is your chance to up-grade your front forks to the 1986-1993 MK2 Front Forks...Cheap! Front Forks are currently listed on Ebay and the bid is at $5.00! Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/forks-swingarm-1986-yamaha-venture-1300-royale_W0QQitemZ160297653154QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotorcycles_Parts_Accessories?hash=item160297653154&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A727%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 I don't know the seller and have nothing vested in these parts, just seemed like a good deal. Earl
lonestarmedic Posted November 11, 2008 #2 Posted November 11, 2008 His buy it now price plus shipping equals $250.00!! Pretty steep for forks. Especially from Florida. I would be watching the chrome on the uppers pretty close. I guess if you need them it is an ok price. Certainly not economical just for spare parts. JB
skydoc_17 Posted November 16, 2008 Author #3 Posted November 16, 2008 The price on the set of First Gen. VR MK2 front forks is still at $5.00 with 10 hours to go. This would be an excellent upgrade for you MK1 owners and a great winter project! Earl
Condor Posted November 16, 2008 #4 Posted November 16, 2008 A couple of years ago I picked up a set of lo-mile mint forks, and triple, off an '86 on Ebay for $65 bucks and the shipping was somewhere around $25. Even tho the seller has a BIN of $200 the forks don't have a reserve. I'm not sure what his thinking was, because they charge you extra for a BIN. If he's using the BIN to somehow indicate a value he might just as well have said so in the discription.
