    Any motorcycle dealer with a worksop should be able to help you out, but a Kawasaki dealer will be slightly more likely to have the parts available.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    What's being done?
    It cost me $141 for parts (new seals and bushes); $52 for some very special oil (which is not what your average dealer would use); and there's a couple of hours labour (maybe 3 if they aren't familiar with the bike). Dunno what bike shops charge labour-wise ($85/hour??) but that adds up to much less than $600.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.

    In ChCh try Dirt Action specialists or triple R racing for expert suspension work. Wont be cheap.
