I want to get a pair of stock H2 fork tubes. I know this has come up may times before, but things change pretty quickly sometimes. What's the go-to shop for new ones? My searching says Jessbikes at $136 delivered is very likely to be, but I'd be interested in comments and/or reviews.

Z1parts has them for $95.00.
I've had good experiences with their parts.

Thanks Shane and Steve. Some more searching shows that Z1 Enterprises has them too, with low shipping cost. It's starting to look like these are all probably Emgo 45-39641 tubes.

Thanks Lane, I've heard some recent less than great reviews of Frank's tubes. I ended up ordering from Jess, of Jessbike. I emailed him and he sent a price and shipping quote that was very good. Thanks for suggesting I send Jess the email, Steve III.

Edited to fix goofup. I had John (Mid Atlantic Cycle) on the brain from recommending him for Mikuni parts recently.

I hope you mis-spoke there Jim.
I would never recommend John to anyone.
It was Jess I told you to contact.
You said you got a great deal from him.
Why change ?

John was one of the first parts suppliers, and one of the best out there. Has been for many years, and well respected for many years in the triples community.

I've always had great service from John to. Same with Jess and Z1 parts.
