Hi everyone, my partners just bought an 05 WR, and he's looking at replacing a few bits as it's looking a bit tatty ( See 2nd picture )

Now he had he measuring sag the other week and would seem the bikes suspension is a wee bit soft - something I'm sure he can adjust.

So I was thinking of buying him replacement forks and rear shocker similar to what is in the first picture but I can't find them anywhere?!

I would also like to get some carbon fibre fork guards, but the only ones I can find are like sleeves?

Can anyone help??

TIA
Nina

What does your partner want to use the bike for?

Fun enduros?
Competition enduros?
Green laning?

Replacing the forks and the rear shock are two items that are expensive to replace.Far better to have them modified by one of several companies like K-Tech.The shock in the picture is a full blown Ohlins that would cost in the region of £1000.The forks look like modified standard with DLC,which is very expensive.

Being a competition machine many parts are available,even for a 2005 bike.

The Dirt Bike Show is near Coventry over the weekend of the 29th and 30th October.

Failing that,have a look at the sticky at the top of this section.It shows a multitude of websites worth looking through Thumbs Up
