Is what Im after but ill be dammed if im paying 450 quid for one of those, only found one for the right side on ebay but its a set and he wont split them Sad, there seems to be lots for the left side but not for the right( of course Rolling Eyes )

Are there any other bike parts I could use that would fit? Ive had this bike in the shed for 3 months trying to find a replacement for under 150 but its proving harder than I first thought, anyone got some good sights for finding tough parts too source

If you can only find a pair buy them and sell the one you don't need sportbike forks are often a problem as they tend to go in the crash that gets the bike broken for parts

£193.97 is what the seller of that set would get post eBay fee's if his listing sold at £239.99, and that doesn't account for the postage fee his offering to pay out of that (probably around £10-15 depending on weight). When you consider that there's plenty of left hand ones on eBay he's not really wrong for not wanting to split the set unless he sold you the right one at an inflated price to account for the fact he'd be then stuck with a common part for god knows how long.

What's so wrong with yours that you can't rebuild it? Or can't you get a left one on the cheap and use the sanction and top cap and then just buy a rebuild kit and seals for the right one? Bit badger but an option. Unless the sanctions are sided, but I don't think so.

Sell the spare half of the bottom left, and sell your set = profit. Retail yours on eBay at just under £200 and accept £150 upwards?
