Shiny forks

I've finally managed to put these back together
The fork legs were rechromed by Philpots and should last as long as the rest of the bike does now.
After a bit of fiddling I refitted the dampers and pushed in the new seals and they seem to sit well.
The only thing left to do now is add fork oil but I'll wait until I need to fit them before doing that.
The fork bottoms were cleaned as well as I could and sprayed black and coated with laquer, they'll probably need redone at some stage but they are much better than the horrible rashed red they were when I got them.



Shiny shocks

New shock arrived today, I wasn't going to replace these but the old ones did look really tatty,even if thats not clear in the photos.
The new ones are budget items from Tecbikeparts who mostly do Triumph parts and they were only £45 so I felt I could just get them without breaking any budgets.

Old ones on the left, new ones on the right with the black body. I did have a choice of colours but felt this one was favourite
