I'll get back to you on that one - still waiting on the money to materialise!

Fork lowers? £20
(I can give you them with all the internals, only done 12000 hard miles - may well be better than your current ones)

Thats the way I thought you were doing it! Be a PITA if it weren't.

Apart from not knocking the bike over is taking the forks off relatively simple, I suppose it is so the question should be how easy is it to get wrong when putting them back on?

easy its about 10 bolts.

wheel out calipers off (be wary of the amount of strain you put on the brake lines) mudguard off, loosen all your bolts on the yokes (worth loosening everything before takin wheel off) note how much the forks are protruding above the top yoke and slip the fork legs out.

Yer I figured getting them out was easy but is it as easy getting them back in and aligned correctly as easy?

Ta m8, this will be my summer project for a damp week, my forks just look in a bad state (along with lots of other bits) so I have new seals, dust covers and springs ready to fit so I may as well do a full strip and clean on em and get the lot right in one go.
