Front Forks Refurb
Anybody had the front forks on their SV refurbed? Mine are not in the best condition and spoil the rest of what is a tidy bike. Any ideas on cost and who does it?

Powdercoated mine, cost me £20 including sandblasting (but I did all the dismantling, cleaning and reassembling myself). Fine opportunity to change your oil, springs and oil seals (if the mileage warrants it) while you're in there...
