'08 Hornet Forks

I'm thinking of buying a pair of new forks for my Hornet but before I get them I wanted to ask for some advice here.

For around £700 which will be the price of the new forks the Hornet comes with can I get something better?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thumbs Up

Assuming this is to replace the ones damaged in your off, I'd buy some used OEM forks and spend the extra on some fancy fork internals, springs to match your weight and having the suspension set up by a pro.

£700 should be enough for that Thumbs Up

How buggered are you existing forks?

Is it just the chrome sliders that are bent/creased. Usually USD forks can take a hell of a whack and still be ok.

My initial thought be be to try and get some CBR600RR forks to fit in there.
