True. Though I am actually going to clean the fork legs soon before I revalve them. (waits to hear big thud from general direction of wales)

i should have done this when i had my rad off, and fitted new plugs but didn't think about it at the time

Any tips?

What you need is one of these and a plug socket on an extension. I bought the Snap-On version many years ago and it's proved invaluable. Halfords Pro stuff is almost as good but a damn sight cheaper.
