Yeah you're right, I send them an email on the site and see if they care. Actually I can't see the bike selling now because the forks have just started leakingDue to some pitting on the stanchions and for the life of me I cannot find a replacement

What bike is it? Fork seals are never much more than £15-£20. And shouldn't effect the sale too much as its piss easy to change them.
Yeah I can find the seals but the stanchions are pitted and it will just chew them up again :/
Surely there's plenty of places that re-chrome forks? A bloke I work with had his done, sent them across to a place.
I looked into that it's about £250 odd. I have found USD forks for the R version on my bike but those would require clip on bars as well and it's all a bit of a pain. I'm on the lookout for a complete for or stanchions for a Hyosung gt125 Comet
Sheet that's dear. I think the old boy here only paid 90 for the pair. I'd ask him but he's not talking to me, miserable cant!
I think you're going a bit overboard TBH mate. Unless its running down the fork leg then don't worry about fixing it. Sell the bike and if the buyer comments, offer to knock £50 off the sale price to compensate. Then its the buyers problem not yours. Its all part of the bargaining that goes with buying/selling.Originally Posted by spencer_foxwell

I had a vmax for my first bike, i say enjoy it !!
That's a heavy bike for a first bike. Wouldn't want to be there when you drop it for the first time.
Absolutely stunning though. Take care out there. There are so many cars that want to scratch that for you.
There was a bodge back in 70's when forks first got exposed and bike forks rusted in seconds. Smooth the pitting down, fill pits with epoxy, smooth that down.Yeah you're right, I send them an email on the site and see if they care.

To do it right will take about £250 of your time.
Grobba-grobba-grobba.
Is that as fast as it goes ?
Trouble with those things is you need to take a big pillion with you everywhere in case you drop it and can't pick it up again on your own
That is Lovely, definitely looking at something like that next
I have AA cover, i hope that helps.Grobba-grobba-grobba.
