Well I haven't got them yet, they they may need a complete. Would be handy to know about both to be honest.

just get the year of manufacture and google tech manual (for your fork) they have all of them in the webs. super clear procedures and quite easy tasks honestly.

oil change is around 10-15 gbp (if i convert my currency into yours) and complete overhaul is around 30-40

here it is that cheap in a bike shop. If you go back and shop there in the future, they will even give you around 10% off anything (at least where i go)

Service prices are much cheaper in Hungary. They can be because of the low rent and very low salary ( around £4k / year ).

Maybe, but you have to know the shops to make sure your forks are in good hands. Otherwise...

The other thing is that they are not really set up to receive founds over the phone from abroad. Even less chance to pay online Smile

Hey Guys and girls, prior to applying some new decals for my 2014 888 lowers (via Silk Graphics) what's the best way to remove the old decals on the forks? I've not yet tried simply peeling them off, but obviously I don't want to damage the paintwork before putting new ones on. Any tips?

Just peel them off and use acetone to get rid of any left over glue

And if you don't want to dick around with removing the sticky, peel it off at one millimeter per second or slower


Not kidding actually works, you'll see for your self
