You could probably revert a lot of it to standard if you ever sell and flog the additional add-ons on eBay and end up making a profit, but that's way down the line.
I wouldn't overthink the front discs. EBC are a good brand. I only mention the rear disc as it looks reminiscent of those cheap eBay wavy discs people sell, but an EBC one is about £80 (and whatever it would cost to balance the wheel afterwards, if shops do that after fitting a disc) so providing it works I wouldn't overly worry for now.
You're probably saying the front discs are poor because the balance of the bike is so out. As above I'd sort out, or get a shop to, your front fork issue and then go from there in regards to what bits you want to do. You'll probably find handling much improved afterwards, but again I really wouldn't ride it like that. Who knows it may even have been lowered to make the handlebars work, so be prepared to revert it to standard at some cost if needed.

Thank you so much for the links and I will. I don’t imagine I’ll sell it unless someone really really wants it.
I asked [/size][size=78%]the guy I got it off and he said he only lowered the front as he had arthritis. The back still looks a tad low but it is parked on a hill in that photo. [/size]

[/size]I’ll know a bit more when my tyres arrive tomorrow but I only managed to get a set called Diablos as they were half price (DemonTweeks)[size=78%]
[/size]Thanks again I truly appreciate the input.[size=78%]
