[A Potted Plant]

Suntour fork probably isnt worth messing with, even if you can find parts.

I have a spare fork we might be able to figure something out

Have any recommendations for a 140mm bonus if I can take it off some sweet jumps

Nothing wrong with suntour forks.
That's what I use

Yes fox 34!!!!! But you don’t need the factory version. Performance elite is identical but not golden coated (the kashima wears off a little over time btw). Save the $$$ and you will be super happy with the improved performance. Especially the control. That noodle of a fork you have just doesn’t cut it in the gnar.

Just my 2c-

Having ridden with you, the fact that you have skillz might have a little to do with your success with that thing doe.
