    Lost it. Oh well. I wasn't ready to drop $1500 at this very second anyways..

    Winning bid was $1525, Maybe if I went 1550 I would have scooped it up?

    They are nice forks but you would probalby be better off buying new ones then ones used at the track for a year. Im sure they have taken a beating. I know youre a bit bigger then me but if I ended up with those then I would end up dropping probably another 400 or so just to get them set for my weight and get them reworked. So thats about 1900 and not for much more you can have new ones that arent beat from track use and are already setup for you.

    On that bike of yours they would only be for show anyway. That thing is broke more then Fireflys bike it seems.

    And I didn't even have to say it

    When I read the title, I thought for sure it was going to say "should I get a new bike?"

    YES!!!!

    $1500 plus the trade value on the rc is a pretty good down payment on a new bike.............................

    I think you should have bought the Ohlins setup. You love that bike, you like doing wheelies, you might as well spend the extra coin on it.

    It's a long winter - put your pennies aside over it and buy the one you want brand new with cash for spring. Anything less and you won't be happy...
