Hi there, i'm going to have to farm out doing my fork seals cause i don't have a headstock stand.

Been quoted about £120 inc dust seals, new oil etc. Thoughts on price, high, low, bout right?

Thanks in advance.

You dont need a headstock stand, do a search on here. if you have the tools and a garage you CAN do it yourself.

bring it up to mine mate and do it in the garage-car jack under engine and rope through bars securing it to roof to keep it steady-i'll be doing one of mine pretty soon.Seals and oil should only cost about £40 max

I paid £60 for my CBR600RR track bike, including oil and seals, from the garage that does my MOT's, so £120 sounds a little steep.
