Lookin for couple pieces of 1 Inch tubing

[jimmyl82]

Any of you guys out there have a couple of pieces of 1"OD- 7/8"ID pipe 8 to 10" in length left over from a frame project or something? I'm attempting to lengthen and put a leading axle on a set of Asuza forks.
http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/photopost/data/500/medium/007182.jpg, here's a pic of the idea I have in mind for this project, gonna extend the wheelbase about 6" and lift it up 1-1/2" to 2"s. Be glad to pay shipping and a reasonable price for the drops.
Thanks
Jimmy

I was looking also, I wound up getting it on Ebay. But not exactly 7/8"id.
Dom Carbon Steel Tube 1" OD x 065 Wall x 48" | eBay
I`m sure there`s shorter pieces available too.

Looking around now I think .065 wall thickness might be a little thin. On the Southern Mini Bike Racing site they say no thinner then .078 for 1" tubing. Nitro drag frames use 1" .090 tubing on there bikes.

I work in a shop that makes frames out of tubing for Honda & Harley.
I wont be back to work till the 30th but if you patient you can have what you need for the cost of shipping it.
