Mr Fox, completely off topic, but what mods did you do to your front forks to improve them? Koz mentioned you had done something not too pricey.

I have been toying with sending them down to CKT to get worked over.. but that is 900ish.

Would that be cheaper and easier than getting Robert to do it?

Depends what you can buy a front end for, they are hard to get I spose, so prolly to much hassle.

I did Race Tech emulators and springs. I got them installed by Boyds under the direction of RT himself. Overall it did cost about $900.....

The emulators are cheap enough - the springs are expensive and the labour is too...hence the price. Took me months to clear the dreadit card...

I might have a quick look into it though.

Yeah sounds like the same deal I am looking at although mine involves sending the forks to Robert.. your way sounds easier.... would you recommend it though?

Yes, I would. They spoke to RT about the job and did exactly as he told them. Have had no problems.

Boyds did my Ohlins on the RR of the BB ( looking at doing Fr over summer

), they have done many CKT jobs so should be relatively simple, even charged everything through Boyds so only had to pay them ( they where charged directly by CKT alot less hassle ) Maybe Talk to Dave at Boyds in the workshop he'll sort it for you
