pretty sure they use XJR forks as they are similar in length.
I used an rf900 front end and you can see there isn't much room for travel as you
can see in my avatar pic. Since then i have install the xjr tubes into the rf sliders. and has given
me an extra 80mm which has brought the front end back to 24 degrees as apposed to the 22.
Also the bike sits level.

If they are that scarce in the states the stars might aline.

Is there anyone In the states that is a dealer for Sanctuary ?

Do any board members own a sanctuary bike ?

I'm betting NO! BIG MONEY is a Sanctuary! Not saying it can't be be done but them boys knock down serious money for the bikes they build. Lot like OCC but the real things. You can actually ride their bikes but they are way over inflated on prices.

Just an observation!!!

If you look at their bikes, they use a variety of front ends from ZRX (DAEG), XJR's, Ohlins 43mm's, etc....

I'd imagine trying to hustle one of these bikes back through US customs would turn into a nightmare as well.

Probably have to come equipped with a catalytic converter a muffler off a hybrid some sort of body harness to hold you to the bike and a cup holder to suit the kool aid drinkers.

probably depends on the state you're importing to . WA state doesn't require emissions tests on motorcycles.
