Hey all, I was just wondering if anyone knew what came with a spring kit commonly found on ebay. I put a link below of an example but I am not sure it works.

Race Tech Fork Springs 1 0 KG mm FRSPS3732100 | eBay

Doing a quick search on ebay, it looks like the race tech spring sets come with a new fork tube? I cant really tell for sure through. I think one of my forks may be bent and it would be nice if I could upgrade the springs as well as get new tubes.

If not, does anyone know a good place to get these tubes cheap?

Thanks!

Here's the price of the OEM fork tube, $142.00 ( 2007 Yamaha FZ6 (FZS6W) Front Fork | Babbitts Online )

That pic on your link does show a tube but Its likely a NEW SPACER(part #18)

You might get a hold of Race tech themselves and ask.

IMO, I would make sure its OEM, NOT a Chinese knock off.

There's usually plenty of stock forks on this site from bikes being parted out, R6 conversions, etc.

Race tech spring kits will come with the springs, spacer stock, and a few washers. The spacer stock is longer because the RT springs are a linear rate (shorter spring) vs a progressive rate(stock springs)which is a longer spring. Spacer stock can be cut down to suit your sag requirement.
I also have a set of 07 R6S forks, calipers, and axle for sale..... Just sayin [emoji6]

Alright I guess race tech having a new stanchion tube would be too good to be true! I thought it might be the spacer but it did seem quite long. Thinking about the possible R6 upgrade but with the available funds, a replacement tube might be the only option as of now. Thanks for the replys!
