I priced cartridge kits before buying the forks and found them quiet expensive, in comparison Im still under that price with new forks and used calipers, axle, speedo drive. Bearing kits seem reasonable as well.

So, you're all probably right but I'm stubborn and won't be beaten by some old Italian.

lol
Then more power and luck to you! I am up to my ears simply refurbing my little Suzuki trail bike with stock parts...

Did you find out the part number for the speedo drive you need? If you can let me know, I will check the one I have and see if it is what you need.
