Well it's the oil and springs that make the biggest difference but the extra revolution tweeks Roger adds is the icing on the cake. And you right for the money it's a bargain especially as that includes the parts and he polishes up the stanchions. Best £200 spent on these bikes.

hi there.
sorting out the terrible front end on my newly purchased firestorm,.
along with new discs, rebuilding callipers, wheel bearings, new tyre, new headstock tapered bearings the forks are also dead soft and bottom out on any major speed bumps or potholes- very unpleasant experience and I'm sure not good for the rest of the front end when it knocks so harshly.
so anyway i need to sort for as cheap possible.
do you have details/contact details of roger who rebuilds them stiffer and improved?
thanks,
Mat.

thanks so much.
if its around £200 seems a bargain as a set of springs alone is at least £100.
if i can get the dough ill do this at same time as the headstock bearings..

You're more than welcome. Wicky did post the site link up, but you wouldn't have known what you were looking for just yet.

Roger has kept the price down over the years as he has a bit of a soft spot for the Firestorm (and the USA version the Superhawk).
You'll also have supplied information on how to set the forks up properly to get the best from them.

Exactly
