My pleasure. If you find a better option please post it. As of today the TNK forks are still on back order.

It Looks like David Silver Spares also has them. A bit pricey $299.07 each

The only place I could find forks is an Italian company TNK Motors. $175.50 per tube https://www.racetech.com/page/title/FTNK Fork Tubes
