  1. Hi all.
    Newbe forum user here. I live in the west Midlands (UK).
    I have a Ducati xdiavel s and two other bike but they might not be welcome on here.
    The reason I joined the forum I that I need a set of forks for the xdiavel. I had a run in with a tractor and the forks got slightly bent. I sent them off to a" suspension specialist " but they are unable to repair them.
    I can't find anyone breaking a xdiavel and new forks are stupid money.

    Can anyone help.me out.
    Regards
    Gerard

  2. Greetings Gerard!

    Sorry to hear of your spill. I hope you're OK? If there are forks around this will be a great place to find them or possibly some info on where you will...

    Goodluck.

  4. Cant you get it fixed on insurance? The tractor should have been insured if on the road.

  5. My daughter works for Harley Davidson and one of the techs came to have a look at it. He recons with the damage and price of new parts the insurance would write it off.
    I have repaired all the other knackered bits just need some forks now

  6. Have you done a check of the frame for minor damage or weld cracks? Takes a lot of force to bend those fork tubes and the rest of the bike has taken that force too...
