Hi guys fast for ward to 2016. My 2006 XT660R fork keg lower has cracked at the pinch bolts. Yamaha no longer sekl the fork leg lower on its own bit will sell the whole fork leg stanchion and innards for �500+ :-o

Local welding firms don't wanna take liability so won't weld. Asked three different firms now.

Rang breakers all over the breakers in the uk. General feedback is not many XT's broken when they are the front ends usually bought by someone pretty quickly.

Any ideas . Really like to get it back on the road unless it's worth breaking and selling to fund another XT? Help. p.s
Are the XT660X fork leg lowers interchangeable with the XT660R LOWERS (eg same stanchion and internal workings and spring dimensions? )
