Heres the pics, he emailed and said that someone else has bought them but as always the sale may fall through!

Just for referance, I dont think they look that bad (but I dont know much!), also how do adjust the preload (if you have to fit preload adjusters how difficult is this?)

They look like there off a track bike with all that mangling on the ajusters!!!

I'd agree with that actually... The bottoms look like they're fresh from the showroom, quite unbelievably clean... The tops mar really easily, soft alloy there, so most forks that have been serviced will show a couple of small marks, but that right one's quite chewed.

You could get the Pro-bolts covers, they'd hide the damage. Or you could swap them with mine, once I get mine replaced- my fork lowers have damage that probably makes them unsellable but the tops and inners will be fine. Then you've just got to wor out how to swap 'em over

What do you reckon, have some slight damage but they say seal are ok and they are straight..or should I wait for some mint ones???

E-bay link.

Yeah, I wouldn't pay £100 for them... Not saying htey're no good, but that seems too expensive.

Offer him £70 and see what he says don't pay any more for them or look out for some in better condition!!! To be honest £150 will get you a mint pair!!

2003 ie K3 but I have to say general consensus is that ouit of the box the 600 and 750 are better.
