Front fork refurb/rebuild: Situation & options.

1. [size=78%]I'm persuaded by Maxton's view that the alloy damper tube does wear.  A look at old fork oil coming out of several forks shows just how much metal has gone into the oil over time.[/size]
   
2. [/size][size=78%]Working on forks at the pro level, fitting and calibrating new valves and shim stacks for example, requires tools and workshop facilities most of us don't have.  [/size]
   
3. [/size][size=78%]However, the simple nature of the Fazer 1000 forks makes them a lot easier to work on at the basic level of changing oil, replacing seals and bushes and fitting new springs.[/size]
   

1. I find this encouraging, specially from some that has seen the inside of a lot of forks.
   
2. If the £365 maxton quoted included that SS catridge tube  then its seriously tempting.
   
3. Yes, I have thought about that each every time I have broached the idea of an R1 conversion - the fazer forks are going to cheaper to maintain moving forward.
