Hi Guys n Gals,

I ordered a pair of replacement front forks from Brooks Barn, under their description of Kawasaki AR125 Fork Tube, 44013-1100 and they arrived quickly but I thought they looked a little slim. I measured them to find they're 26mm in diameter, them measured our own bikes to find the OEM's 30mm.

I've returned them and await a return of my funds, plus the additional costs to cover the return postage but note that the item still shows on their website.

It appears that their suppliers have the wrong items in stock, so I just wanted to save anyone else the inconvenience of having to return incorrect items.

Hi Guys n Gals,

just to give an update, Brooks Barn were kind enough to quickly return my payment to PayPal and to add on £17.48, to cover the return postage charged by the Post Office.

Sounds like a good retailer, accepting of the problem and fair with reimbursement
