She had 5000 kms on the clock and was in *mint* condition.

Unfortunately all of that was changed by a little head-on confrontation involving myself, the XR and... a taxi.


The bad news: most of the front-end is a write-off. Forks are bent, rim buckled, etc.

The good news: the rest of the bike is intact. Frame and engine was not damaged.


I bought the bike back from the insurance planning to fix it.

Biggest issue is I need new front forks.



Can anyone recommend after market/different forks for an XR400?

The stock ones weren't the greatest to start off with, I'm sure a lot of oakes have tried different forks on the front-end?
