Default Fatboy down tubes

New here and need some help. A friend got creamed by a ditzy blond and smashed up the front end of his 94 Fatboy. He got banged up pretty good but is recovering great. He doesn't have insurance and his money is going to pay Dr. bills so a few of us are trying to fix his bike.

So my question... what size down tubes do we need for a 94 fatboy, and any idea where to find a set at a reasonable cost?

Thanks for the help.

I think you mean fork legs? Down tubes are at the front of the frame and if they are bent the bike is shot.

Ebay is probably your best bet.Or post an ad here in the "Want to buy" section and maybe somebody that swapped out to black or chrome will have a set laying around that they will part with at a decent price.

Sorry... Yes, obviously I meant the fork legs not the down tubes. I was in a hurry when I wrote it and down tubes was the first word that popped into my mind. Yes, the frame is completely intact, we checked that out very carefully to make sure we could fix it vs. sending it to a shop for a pro repair.

What size are they? 38mm? 40mm?

The 94 uses a different size axle bolt than the newer bikes. Make sure you get the one that fits your buddys bike. Ebay has had some killer deals on EVO parts.

If it wasn't his fault, then the "ditzy blond's" insurance should be paying for it. It shouldn't matter if he had insurance if he wasn't at fault.
