Hi all,
Dropped the leaky fork off expecting them to just fit a new seal. Oh No! They said. We don't do that. Chances are the oil contaminated and not known how much is missing. We do a 'Proper Job', as we are in Cornwall, or not at all. OK, fair enough I thought, and said for them to go ahead. Then he said that they will make a start on this one while I can nip home and get the other one. Pardon? I said. They would not refurbish one and not the other. So, like a good boy I fetched the other one whilst chores had to wait. The only seals they had in stock were Chinese ones which he did not want to use on my bike. He ordered 'proper ones'. Also rang through which oil it needs and the air gap from the Hyperpro box i luckily kept. Next morning, 9 o'clock they rang that it was all done. Not cheap but also not silly. Fitted them with new squashy gaitors and went for a test ride. Not sure what they did but it was a 'proper job' indeed! Never had the front so responsive and well dampened. Wish now I had let them fit the springs 5 years ago. Always thought the Hyperpro a bit of a waste of time. Not anymore. Shame I got little time to enjoy them now.
