Well I'll be phoning k Yeh workshop later today to get my forks booked in. Then just need to swap the spring over on my ohlins shock, refit wih my NC35 linkage. Get wheels powder coated and tyres fitted. When the forks are back I'll take them to a local shop to get caliper adapters fabricated. Re assemble with all parts. Get engine ready (it's been stood for about a year drained of fuel, not sure where to start) then repair the bodywork before a simple paint job...

From what I hear it's pretty common for the ZXR guys.

Edit to add: I bought them from Andy at AWM racing who had the work done by Gareth at Reactive Suspension in York. Who I phoned to confirm authenticity. He also serviced them.
