Anyone got any bike bit's done anywhere - Thinking of getting some forks done.

there's a place in Balsall Heath that does motorcycle parts I think, by the city farm.

Corner of Hertford Street and Brunswick. Never used them, but been past a few times and they're still there.

Its pretty expensive to do. Youd be better off sourcing new forks in most cases.

I've found some on the classifieds here that I hope will fit the bill - Chroming was an option but a last resort - From what I've read can cost anywhere from £25 to £90 so might of been worth a try...

No 1'' threaded curved forks at tokyo fixed, didn't fancy straight, cheap though

Chroming is cheap to get done about £20 for a complete frame its the polishing that costs a lot and makes the final finish.I used to use a place in handsworth not far from Brooks but cant remember the name

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
