New Fork Springs - Spannerman Recommendation - SV650.org

01-09-07, 07:06 PM

Big thanks to Spannerman for fitting some Hagon fork springs to my K4 pointy today. Top notch service and excellent value, coupled with 'interesting' visitors to the workshop!

Route home took me down A6 from Matlock to Buxton and then Cat 'N' Fiddle to Macc during which a big improvement was noticed

Thanks again Spannerman, wish i'd come to you for my front brakes too, oh well, lesson learnt!

Did you go for progressive or linear?

I have the Hagon linear springs in mine. A world of difference and tons better than stock.

I've been described as many things in my time but i must admit, interesting is not at the forefront! Not that i'm boring or anything it's just, well, normally the names are much much worse

. Was nice to meet you young man. Glad that you are pleased with the services we provided, oh and the services of Spannerman too of course

Good evening all.
Good to hear that you're happy with the new springs, the ride home was a good test no doubt.
Sorry about the 'Oddballs' who lurk in the corners of my workshop, especially the Porky one with the silly beard

...I seem to attract them, I must have been a wicked sod in some former life!

And Baldy, when UKI said interesting, I think he meant Mad Biggles, not you you Wazzock!

Cheers.

Think I'll be making the trip sooner or later, might even get my brakes done while im there......

Oi less of the Mad Biggles.

Moderately deranged perhaps.

Sorry Biggles no offence intended, not all that call themselves Biggles are barking! just the particular individual I was referring to......I hope you haven't got a huge handlebar moustache as he has

Robchester, give me a yell if you want to come down, I've usually got pads & service parts on the shelf, but springs & stuff I get in to order.

Cheers.
