I've looked at Ohio cycle... am I missing something or do you really have to sift through all of the parts for all of the bikes.... also I would think that alot of the 305 parts should interchange but I don't know which ones... would anyone know if theres a part # cross reference sheet / book out there... or on cd maybe...

Thanks

Is the $245 for the seal holders or fok tubes? As for OS you have to sift through and find what you need or you can call Nick and ask. I found it easier to print it out than sit in front of the comp scrolling around. Alot of the parts for 305's will interchange you just need to know which ones and the best way to do that is to pick up Bill Silvers CD or books.

As I was going over the bike I noticed that the chrome sliders on the front fork are rusted and on one rusted through I don't know the condition of the inside but I'm assuming that it's going to be bad... What I was wondering is whether or not any of the parts for the forks are available and how hard it it to find the fork bodies... Any advice is welcome and appreciated I'll be posting a pic of the bike and the damaged fork...

Thanks

OPSSSSSSSSSS! Ya do need to get the chrome off. May be tough but it is just pushed onto the slider with no threads.
You will see a "C" clip in there and that's when ya do what ya are doing now. ..................lm

any sugestions on ways to get the chrome off?

I still can't get this chrome piece off... I've tried a strap wrench, I've tried a torch and a welders glove, I've even tried some good ole shock therapy... It's not budging... Any sugestions as I'm out of ideas....

Thanks

Mac, Well if its no good anyway you could use a die grinder and a carbide disc. Slice it up the side,that shoulds get its attention! Kustommusic
