Look here

Just ride out to MCT at Stowmarket to sort your front end out, they are one of the best. Price will depend on what you want to do.

I'll be taking mine over there sometime this winter.

Say hello in the EAR regoinal section, I've noticed a couple of you noobs from the Ipswich area

Now is a good time, as they're not as busy as during the race season

Get some emulators off a group buy here and sort them yourself. Be a sight cheaper and better results than taking it to a big place just for springs doing.

doesn't that require some drilling of the forks? and can you use them with stock springs?

Nah don't use them with stock springs.

Just get some Ktechs, about £95 delivered.
