Title said it all. Mine are being rebuilt and I'm beginning to wonder if they are gonna make it back in time. Running +2 arms reg travel. I weigh abt 190 with gear. I SHOULD know by friday for sure(since I'll call them and see what the deal is). Been working way to much and only had 2 days of vacation this year. If all else fails, then I'll prob break out the yz250 and ride it without a paddle(cuz the cr500 isn't done and I have no time to work on anything but work it seems). At this point I don't care. I just wanna go somewhere and ride to get away from work. Dan's brother was nice enough to offer, but at the time I didn't think I'd need them... I really hope to not have to borrow anything! At least I'm not the only one waiting on some kind of parts. I know someone else that is too...
Thanks
Dennis

It wasn't that last minute LOL, but it wasn't 6 months ahead of time either like I usually do things. He claims he is busy and I believe him. I know how busy we are at my job right now. It's not that big of a deal. All else fails the yz gets rode. I'm pretty used to sand without a paddle on a bike anyways. Just never went to LS without one. I took the 500 with one when I took it. Got a spare back wheel with a paddle already mounted for it

I got some 86 oem fronts, if you want to pay for shipping you can have them. There in the for sale section if you want to see what they look like.

Thanks broken, but I also have some 86 fronts(minus one bottom bushing-IDK where it wandered off, but havent really looked either). It'll all work out one way or another. I'm so desperate to get away for the weekend that I could take my little girls pink crf 50 and still have fun just cruising the parking lot LOL. Actually her and I did do that at hallet abt a month ago while some friends were doing a track day(street bikes). I borrowed one of their 50's and we had a blast. It was her 1st time to actually get to go camping and/or riding(besides the yard). That was one of the best weekends I've had in awhile. Good times.
