    Unhappy crashed....

    actually not me, but a friend crashed it....

    Anyhow, he's alright, but my forks are TWEAKED badly and need to be replaced.

    Now question is: Where do I get replacement forks and maybe a triple clamp set either factory or aftermarket?

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks!

    Contact Froking by Frank, he makes replacement tubes for the RS50.

    Micah, do you know the stock diameter of the fork tubes off hand?
    they need this information because they have only done earlier models and are saying that a 2002 may be different.

    Also, where can I get a shifter peg (the little rubber piece)?

    I am very very bummed right now so let this be a lesson to all of you,,, do not let anyone ride your baby.

    What sucks is that we just installed the white face gauges this morning.

    Thanks

    Just tell them to send you the same tubes they sent to Chuck Coffer....he has a 2002 and they worked perfectly.

    1999 through 2004 are all the same for the RS50.

    Angry 2 MONTHS !!!!!

    2 months to order the front end assembly!
    Damn, I knew it was going to take some time to get the parts, but 2 months?

    Great, now I'm making payments on a bike I can't even ride.

    Anyone know of anywhere who distributes Aprilia parts? 2 months is rediculous!

    Thanks!

    If you like, I'll ask at my local Aprilia dealer, see if they can get them. Then we can ship 'em airmail, take two weeks. Would that be any help?

    Post good news...

    I talked to Jay at Mototek and he said he can most likely get the whole assembly within a month direct from aprilia for $517.
    It looks like I'll just be riding my partners 750 GSXR in the mean time.

    Thanks for everyones help!!
