Re: front fork extensions

Dont have them installed yet i have a Skygo/Lifan Disc brake front end and have been waiting on a 225mm axel and a spacer from ooracing to bolt it together.(Got them today) They are a common item just make sure they supply the bolts that go with them.

Nobody because there is little to no demand for them.

Why do the UK guys have issues shipping to Guam? Have them ship to somebody in the USA and have them forwarded to you. It will cost you an extra $5 shipping from the USA to Guam.

Tell them to use Royal Mail and send to the address provided.

Since it's a US Zip code, I don't see why they are having issues.
