I spoke to Northern Irelands Ohlins technician and he said that he'd supply me with any of the bits I need, but for the seals that retail at nearly £50 a pair (might be more now) about £20-30 for fork oil, I'd rather just pay someone to fit them so I don't get it wrong.
(Also, my fascination with keeping the bike on one wheel doesn't fare well for forks either, although I'm yet to blow the standard forks)

Re: viper_biker's rides
Little update. CBR still here and not really changed much. Still building the track 400 (about 3 years now LOL), but my most recent 2 wheeled 'Beast' is the Honda MSX125.
Bought brand new back at the end of may. Got the first 600 miles in for the first service then started the usual trail of adding bits to it. The following are what's been added since buying,
Home made number plate bracket,
Small plate (for a small bike)
Oxford nano LED indicators on the rear,
Smoked indicator lenses for the front as the orange lenses look gash,
Pirelli Diablo's (the standard Vee Rubber have been the reason for 2 mates with these bikes to crash)
eBay short black adjustable levers,
Stole the R&G heated grips from the 'Blade,



Then got a good bit of Tyga stuff from Gavin at Jap4,
Full system,
Carbon fly screen, and,
Carbon tank shroud.



Finally, from Belfast Honda,
R&G crash bobbins, and
Pro-Grip brush guard.
