quick query on operating temp at highways speeds (1kt)

yup. Still weeping after a ride. chinesium forks on the way to try.  I'll be honest, ive used these cheap repop forks before on a GT550 and they were actually really, really good so we'll see when they arrive next month.

well the radiator arrived, looks great, and the new fork tubes, which look surprisingly good. however waiting on the new fork seals. hopefully Monday, and will post pics of both being swapped here next week hopefully.

took fairing off to fit radiator. nope, won't fit. lower hose connection at wrong position,  aims out the side instead of the rear.  lower mounts aren't staggered so... I could make it work but I don't need to. might be buying a tdr so I'll just save it.  worst case I can modify it to fit the tzr if I need to.

as far as the fork tubes,  got them in the forks, they look great. seals should be here  Monday..? until then, just wait.

Maybe in need of fork tube for my TZR250.
Can you share the link of your shop ?

it was ebay, out of china.  I know, but figured it was worth a shot.

Looking good,never seen SKF fork seal kits in the UK.

edit: looked on ebay uk and they are for moto x and trials bikes but will still fit road bike forks.

yup. the shop i got them from is primarily an off-road focused business. TBH, id never seen them quite like this either.
