That was one of my thoughts and I have some on order along with a few other bits. Waiting to open them up until I have everything together ready as it's my commuter at the moment.

Oil etc arrived for CRF fork investigations today. Also got an email through from JHS saying they will only check the forks as part of a full service on them at £150+vat. They won't look at them taken apart as i intended to take them along to them.

Hmm find an independent. Obviously no one will strip it for free but they'll give it a look over, see if it looks straight and give you an idea of their gut feeling.

Video yourself stripping them, whole continuous video - if there's no oil in there show the level and prove it, if seals are visibly perished ordisintegrated get it on camera.

The new ti bolts for the brake discs on the gsxr didn't turn up in time for the weekend

So I got half way through laying a new patio area in the back garden and also replaced the thumbstick in the wifes Nintendo switch controller now some chill time
