Hi chaps
I'm looking for some of the rubber ring parts that fit around the fork leg in between the fork top and bottom yokes that cushion the forks against the frame on full lock. Anyone know what their proper name is and where I may be able to get them?? I know they are different sizes depending on fork diameter but first things first
cheers Question

according to the SB6/7 spare parts catalogue is referred to "Bumper"

I have no idea how to get them. Sad

But let me know if you do.

Some place like McMaster-Carr might have something that would work.

I reckon youd be best off finding inch thick rubber sheeting and using hole cutter drill attachments to make outer and cut inner hole sizes...or foam pipe lagging and cable tie them on...

Your better off sourcing some blocks of rubber and having them cut. Its not just getting the internal DOA right its the external which dictates the lock.
