After market Simons forks should also be OK for pre 78 given that they were available in 77.

The last set of 38 mm Simmons forks I saw on ebay for a TT went for around $1,200us.  Maico forks might be a cheaper option.

Those would be nice options if i were building a weapon. But for a sometimes playbike/dirt tracker, I think a set of RM forks or similar will do very nicely. Once I get hold of a 500, I'll have a bit of a hunt around for what's available reasonably cheaply. I saw a pretty stock XL500 going awfully quick at canowindra last weekend, so clearly the old thumpers can go around a flat track OK. Just need to avoid anything remotely rough I think...

Brent J has done all the hard work and wrote a great piece here which I have read over and over. I should print it out and put it in my manual as it's very valuable information.
