what was the cost involved in putting that right if you dont mind me asking?

11-02-07, 05:32 PM

it was a little under £1000 and that was just for the hardware, the cosmetics haven't been touched yet i went for only Suzuki parts though

i needed

2 Fork stanchions
1 break disc
new front break master cylinder
wheel spindle
right mirror
radiator repairs - as the mud guard pierced it,
fork seals
oil etc

but shes worth it,
I'm only 21 and sold everything i owned to get that bike and insure it

ouch, what happened?

Although it's sad to hear of the un intended front end modifications, It's good to hear you'r fixing her up again, top work. We all should look after our two wheeled buddies, even in times of bad health.
