Broken air valve on 1100E forks

01-06-2010, 12:26 AM

Hi all,
I over tightened the cap on the air valve on my 1100E forks and broke the threaded portion of the air valve off. The forks didn't lose pressure- the spring loaded pin is still threaded into the remaining valve on the fork, but the portion where the cap threads on broke off into the cap. Any recommendations on where to find a new air valve?
Thanks
