AdamFozz Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hello Everybody, I just wondered if anyone has found any front fork sliders/bobbins that are compatible with the XJ6. Any links would be great. AdamFozz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baker Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 ebay has loads of stuff that might help you. just search XJ6, but before that, tell us about yourself in the noobs section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamFozz Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Ive added to the noob section. I did check ebay but I think the issue is that the axle on the front of the XJ6 is solid so the usual bobbins that have a rod inside the axle wont fit. Plus on the other side the end of the bolt just sits flush...so I guess there is no solution to fork bobbin for the xj6. Adam_Fozz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Cynic Posted May 10, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 10, 2011 Fork sliders are a bit much really, most accidents/offs will trash the forks somehow. If the motor and bodywork is coverd thats as far as you need go really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think i'll have another bike without some sort of protection cause of the great scottish weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamFozz Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yea, I have sliders to protect the engine and fuel tank, but I did have an off on my old MT03 and it trashed the bottom of the forks as they made contact with the road. The swingarm is also a bugger for getting caught on the road as well. So paddock bobbins are a pretty good choice in my opinion. I guess the point on the forks being bent in alot of accidents is valid though, since if thats the case you need new forks either way.
