Umm no Karlo, it wasn't. £166 :eek :eek for the stanchion, new seal, dust cover etc etc. Relative to the price that Yamaha want for some of their parts though, I didn't think it was horrendous?
Trouble is, buying secondhand (other than off of this forum) is a complete lottery and I couldn't afford to wait six weeks for them to be sent away and be refinished. This was going to cost £160 anyway and the other one (at the moment) is fine and doesn't need doing.
Plus, if I didn't get it done quick I'd have lost the £120 that I've already paid for a track day, so its swings and roundabouts really.
