Title: 5th Element on eBay
Post by: 4500_rider on May 31, 2006, 02:31:22 am

Found this while looking for parts, its a pretty good price for a new unit (does not come with a spring), he has different sizes in his eBay shop, for those of you in the UK shipping is $30:

Hmmmm.

That is very interesting. A 2 way 5th element. Looks to be an OEM type. No spring, so if you add a Ti spring, you have a bomb of a shock. [smiley=nod.gif]

They have an 8.5x2 size which is perfect for a 5 inch fork.
