Looking for a set of forks for a KZ1000.  prefer chrome if in good shape but stock are okay too as long as they aren't severely gouged.

I'm in Kansas. The ones shown are for an example, still holding up the 78 LTD, ha. I have plenty more loose already. What are You lacking? I normally always replace the tubes with new ones.

Just looking for good lowers.  May have chromed or coated so preferably without deep scratches or gouges.

Do you have a recommendation or source for good quality fork tubes?  I've seen some listed here and there but I don't know anything about the quality.

The Italian brand TAROZZI made good quality (upper) fork tubes
