If it's running fine, and reasonably tidy, i'd leave well alone, worth more to the rivet counters, their only original once. Plus you'll spend a load of dosh and be frightened to ride it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the forks done by someone like Gareth at Reactive Suspension or Paul at Black and White Bikes, someone who actually knows what they are doing and will do the job properly. New YSS Rear shock, keep the original tucked away in case you ever need to sell it to a rivet counter. Brakes serviced. New decent tyres and ride it, all imho. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
