Need new fork tubes for 1981 GS650G

[Guest]

So here's my dilemma. I've got a 1981 GS650G which I've completely restored and then customized a bit. However I am in dire need of new fork tubes for the front, I attempted to clean up the ones that I had, however even with new seals and rebuilding the whole assembly they still leak a considerable amount, way too much to ignore. I've been looking around for the past few weeks trying to find some new ones but it's obviously quite difficult to find them. I have a few options to go with, but I am wondering if any of you have any more resources for me to check out.

Let it also be known that I am a full-time student and only work part-time, so money is pretty tight and I'm on a relatively small budget compared to some people, I'm sure.

Whatever my options are, I would like any suggestions you guys have.

Do the tubes seem rough? How fast do they start to leak? You sure you rebuilt them with the proper seals?

These fork tubes surface regularly on eBay, but shipping can kill you.
