nigelhicks Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Hey guys HELP ... i have a set of +/- 2000 Boxxer Forks that I am trying to revive, however the disc mounting are cracked on the lowers. I am looking for a new set of lowers. The forks are OLD (still have v-brake mounts). So i think they must be about a 2000 version???? http://www.schlickjumper.de/parts/bilder/1017502528large3023.gif I think it is a 32mm stantion but not sure on the travel .... but should be ok if its 2000 to 2005 model ... Shot Nige
nigelhicks Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 just checking on the web - a 1999-2005 lower should work ... if you have one lying around that you are never going to use please let me know ... Looking at building them onto a spare bike for KZN DH to use for Newbies who want to give DH a try ... (so not looking at spending too much tom on them) Thanks again
ichnusa Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 Take them to oom Jeff at GMRacing - he will be able to sort them out for you. I have previously had fork lowers welded in PMB and then had the hole re-drilled and tapped. Worked perfectly! Just needed some paint...

Grebel Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Nige, Have you tried speaking to Keith Clayton? They are specialist welders in Pinetown. Give them a call on 031 702 6918. They are opposite BMW (Down the side street off Old Main Road) They have repaired a few cracked frames for me and my mates and I am sure they can weld aluminium. You will have to get someone to drill and tap for you though. I am sure Keith will be able to point you in the right direction. Good Luck! Edited May 22, 2012 by Grebel
nigelhicks Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 OK .... so Old Mr Minn says that ANY 32mm Rock Shox Boxxer lower will work for the fork Come on guys ... someone must have one lying around that they wont use ...

patches Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 oh, and they're pre maxle. They use the through axle where one cap comes off. I'll throw that in too.

I have 2006 & 2007 boxxers lying around at home (with 2008's on my bike). The 2006's have a massive hole in the lowers. The 2007's have scratched stanchions), so if I cannibalized I could make 1 nice set... but I'm lazy, and my bike is insured, so if anything happens, I'll get 2012 Boxxer R2C2's as the payout. Therefore I have decided to donate them to charity. I have a friend who needs the rebound knob and possibly stanchions. You can have the lowers and axle. As for shipping... I think a speed services bag is R60. I can speed service it to your nearest P.O. The lowers wrapped in bubble should fit in the bag, and be less than 1kg.
