Suspension
For those interested, I have recently had my fornt fork oil seals replaced by a suspension guy who trades under the name of G-Force. While the seals were being replaced, he re-valved the forks to the same spec as a CR80. Wow what a difference. Last week he rebuilt my rear shock, re-gassed, re-valved and resh oil. It has completely transformed the bike.
A few jumps yesterday where the rear shock usually bottoms out were taken with no problems. Also on bumpy lanes the bike used to bounce about a bit when taken at speed. Now it seems to sit down and give much better grip. The suspension is still soft enough to cope with the snotty slimey stuff as well. The best bit of moneey I've spent on a bike.
Oh, this was my Mk2, the MK3 is next.
If anyone is interested, PM me and I'll pass on his number.
He uses a courier and one of my mates had his forks returned for a tenner.

Re: Suspension
If you include a re valve it will be over £100, probably no more than £120. Its difficult to say exactly as he usually knocks a bit off for me as I use him a lot for doing fork seals, buying oil and tyres etc.

Mike, speak to Russ, he just did my cr shock for 70 including a new bladder. He did my crm shock for a bit less, but it made a drastic difference.
