Front suspension assembly slightly corroded - Page 2 - SV650.org

23-02-16, 08:43 PM

I'm located in West Yorkshire, about 20 mins out of Leeds if you're on a bike.

Should be getting the bike on Thursday provided everything goes smoothly so I'll be able to see what's next from there.

Would any recommend/advise against buying a pair of 2nd hand ones from eBay, providing worst case scenario?

I'm really not sure about the idea of nail varnish or superglue on anything that isn't cosmetic, haha.

Nail varnish, super glue or araldite are all short term bodges.

If the rust spots don't extend to where the seal passes over, then you should be fine.

2nd hand ones are fine, so long as they are straight and not damaged or rusty.

You can also get pattern ones for £112

Wemoto do them also.

Don't fork out for them unless absolutely necessary
