WTB 2017 RC390 forks

[Shaharidan]

Have to be off a 2017, possibly a 2018.
No rush, but if someone comes across a set I'd appreciate a heads up.

Thanks,
Mike

Well .
I bought upgraded cartridges for mine, and proceeded to ruin the original forks when I tried to remove the bottoms.
I bought a used pair to replace the ones I ruined, they were supposed to be 2017's, but they weren't.
Anyway, I got them to work, and I've been racing them for a awhile without issue.
But they aren't correct, I'm not sure everything lines up the way it should.
So, if I can find a used set off a 17 for a reasonable price I'd like to put on the correct forks for the bike.

What are you concerned about not lining up correctly? I can't really think of anything that might be a problem. The update for the forks was internals. Externally, AFAIK, they are exactly the same.

The most obvious difference is the attachments for the calipers, since they went to the 320 mm rotor in 2017.
It's been a while since I looked but I think all the part numbers including the wheel are different, I think the axle had the same number 2016 to 2017.
I can't get the front wheel back on without removing the caliper, and then have to set the caliper multiple times to get the wheel to spin freely.
Like I said it seems to work fine, but if I can get a 2017 set for a good price I'd put on the correct forks.
