I have a 1984 200ES i judt got lastnight, the front forks are locked and will now contract as they should. Rather than damaging them more, I would like to have them rebuild asap. Who knows how to do it correctly or knows a palce that can do it correctly? Remember parts are getting harder to find especially internal shock seals and such, so the palce will probebly have to find various seals from otehr bikes that will fit it. I just don't have the resoruces to do it myself as I don;t have access to all the seals and oterh bike's seals to match them up too. The 1984 200ES has steel fork tubes, so they are differernt than the 200E that is alloy.

if you have a great set of working 84 steel 200es forks, I'm intersted as well so PM me as that may be easier than rebuilding mine.
