Take the forks off and take them to just change the seals at a garage. Be cheaper than a new set of forks i would imagine. Thats what i'm doing coz i don't have the time, plus i know some1 who will do it for just £20 a leg which is a bargain!! lol.

well i spoke to my dad just a while ago a he recons after looking at the workshop section he recons we can get them done.
cheers for all your help guy.

bit of a change of subject but i was thinking of doing a proper service and the valve clearances, are they the shim type or do they have the ones hat screw down on top??
