front suspension

Post by johnfish »

My suspension is crap on the front, is anyone local able to/keen on fixing it?! I haven't got a garage or any of the special tools required to do it... If yes, how much would you want to do it and when could you do it? The previous owner said he had rebuilt it with new seals etc, but it's way to soft (I've compared it with anther Storm)

Can do, John.
Mind you, I'm near Brands Hatch, so a bit of a run out.
But I'll happily fit a set of Hyperpro springs, strip and re-oil with a 140 or 135 mm air gap and new seals, which is all most people need for road use.

Ride in, ride out service.

Pm me for a price if you want- the kit should be around £110, plus some seals.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Many thanks for your replies. Tony you are a bit too far; I don't think the wife would issue a pass for that amount of time. Thumperslaw, a PM is inbound!

Oxford is too far?
It's an hour and a half each way.

Yours is one of those low-mileage ones, is it?

That's all right a good excuse as excuses go...but you forgetting that Tony acts like a young kid, he's 65 next year... :wink:
