I am looking for a pair of bent forks from a 300. Specifically, I am looking for the damper rods. If you only have one you are willing to part with, let me know. PM me with shipped price.

Thanks.

I might have a pair of damping rods from my pre 94 EX500, which is the same as PreGen Ninjette, let me check, if your interested. Part # 44022 right?

That is the part I am looking for. Checking part numbers now, it seems the 500, pregen, newgen, and 300 all have different part numbers.

The 500 has 38 mm forks while the 250/300 have 37 mm. I can't say either way if the damper rods are the same or not but the part numbers for each are different.

Most cases only the upper tube part # 44013 is bent, the guts are in the lower tubes part # 44005.

With different part numbers I am guessing the rebound damping hole is a different size to accommodate the higher weight of the the 500. Or it might be different size compression holes. Tough to say, they are probably not the same dampers though.

Still looking for a set of bent forks or at least the damper rods from a 300.

Does anyone have a pair laying around they could at least put some pin gages in and find the hole size?

I know this is off topic, but anyone know if the 500 tubes fit the newgen bottom halfs? I have newgen bent forks and was wanting to see if I couldn't use some 500 tubes.
