So finally got the call from MCT to let me know the forks were ready. Collected them today and was pleasantly surprised the bill was lower than expected (20% lower). Re-chromed and polished stancheons

and re-worked and re-sprung forks.
Once i get my tank back from repair i'll let yo'all know how the new forks feel. While talking to Darren i mentioned the new tyres going on (2020 Avon 3D Ultra Evo) and he suggested running pressures 36 F/R as it will suit the bike more.

He is a fountain of knowledge and decent bloke. Keep you all posted.
