    So, I'm up against it here with my beloved '05 TE450. Fork tubes are pitted, found this the hard way, tore up the seals, and scratched the bushings. Now I'm finding parts aren't easy to locate, no outter bushings for the 45mm 'zocs anywhere in the US... So here I am, needing to have the tubes re-chromed, order bushings from overseas, blah blah blah, spend a heap of money, and still have something hard to get parts for... At this point, I'm wondering if there's any option to bolt on a different triple clamp/fork/axle/wheel from something more modern, and still supported. Has anyone "updated" the front, or know what might fit? This has started to be a rather deep rabbit hole.

    I think I have good fork tubes and probably bushings as well I’m in Mount Vernon so not very far away from you. Send me a pm if you need help

    I might have a line on a set from a friend, but they may have been lowered for flat track. If that doesn't work out, I'll hit you up! Thanks!

    I have been involved with the Italian Husqvarna’s for a long time. I have the same year and model as you. I figure if Weber couldn’t wear one out it’s the bike to have.
