Well bit the bullet and ordered the part and the mudguard bolts while I was at it. Even though I have only completed one fork so far, it was really interesting doing it as I haven't done that job before. For anyone interested in doing fork seal / bush replacement I used the old site huge page on fork seal replacement as a guide and this guys vids which I think are great. Delboy's Garage, How-To replace regular type fork seals.
From my post before ages ago, the mechanic was right and the top bushes in both forks were pretty worn, even for a 22k bike. All replaced now though or waiting to be replaced in the second fork
.
Thats a nice idea actually deadeye I'll try that next time I think. A bit gutted bike wont be ready for the weekend probably unless I'm really lucky and the parts arrive on saturday, but ah well. I went for the 15w oil too so looking forward to seeing what that's like.
