Having just returned a set of genuine SIL forks due to them being such poor quality, I'm looking for advice on best alternatives.

I'm really looking for a whole front end for a GP including disc brake, money is not really an issue with in reason as long as it is well spent.

Cheers in advance!

Other than Frank Sanderson and SIL I can't think of any other manufacturer ? That leaves you with either Italian or Spanish second hand forks......or some bespoke ones adapted from another bike/scooter.
