Hey.... who the hell are you then :spudflip: either one of the two 1000S that I know?
Welcome to KB anyway, how bout a pic of ya bike in the old profile or avatar.

Right just had my Ohlins seals replaced by the Guzzi dealer, but I'm not sure what your probs are, what up with ya forks?
I use a Oz shop for parts way cheaper than being down trowered by them there in town, so if ya want a number ask away..... and theres a half decent joint up north too, P/M PaulNZ he knows the place.

PBS closed up shop although last I heard he was still doing suspension servicing from home, what kind of work do you need done to them?

go have a talk to Don at Pitlane, he'll put you on to someone decent, seeing the 1000s has convetional forks you may be able to get them sorted out cheaply.
probably be a case of a total strip down, get the staunchion straightened then re-chromed to get rid of any creasing or surface fractures

Linton @ Dirt Action just did my GasGas forks & well happy first ride Wait day. Haven't seen the bill yet (got the job done quickly, paperwork seems secondary).
