Front end change
 

My '54 plate pointy has been handling like a pig since I got it some time ago... initially I put it down as the difference coming from a CBR1000rr but twice now the front forks have lost all the oil and it's awful.

So I'm seeking a GSXR front end with radial brakes and upside down forks... Colour doesn't bother me, i'm just interested in getting rid of the dreadful handling.

I'm also looking for somewhere to do the work for me as i'm an alright rider but rubbish at bike mechanics.

Any recommendations in NW london would be really appreciated! Cheers.

Might be worth watching a top yoke on ebay as the second link doesnt have one, just incase you didnt notice.

FYI - I txt'd the bloke from the link I posted to see if he'd take any offers, he phoned me back and said he had 6 people watching but would end the auction early for 'the right price'.

If you're keen on that set, might be worth txting him and making an offer, he is in London.

I (the wife) decided that I'd settle for upgrading my springs/oil :(

Well, if I get 'em I'll have some ohlins springs going for free with the old forks.
