Right, I need some advice.
The brake calliper seals (or something) on my curvy nekkid are on their last legs. As are the fork seals (and probably the springs too). I have £500 to spend on getting the brakes and front suspension sorted (and upgraded if possible), and if there's enough left for a 2nd hand gsxr rear shock or something, so much the better. I'd rather not do the work myself as I value my life quite highly. What bits would you get, and where in the London area would you get it done? Not bothered about having New bits, but would prefer Reconditioned to straight second hand. Your thoughts please... |

Contact Joe - Itching 2 Go... get the fork seals and caliper seals.
You can do the brakes yourself, and probably with a bit of assistance, you can sort the forks out aswell - dropping them out of the yolk is not too difficult. After all that, you should still have £400 or so left to do whatever you want!

if you're changing fork seals, you're 9/10 of the way to an oil and spring change... Likewise, if you're changing caliper seals that'd be a good time to fit braided lines, since the system'll need bled anyway. And while you're at it, better pads.
What do you dislike about the bike at the moment? If you're not feeling it lacking, then do some cosmetic stuff...
