my ohlins forks are leaking oil, nothing major at the moment, but it doesn't seem to be coming from the usual place. It appears to be comng from the bottom of the sanctions.
So I'm looking for recomendations of where to go to get it fixed, I live in London but happy to travel anywhere in the south east if necessary, and the important question how much am I gonna be out of pocket.

Why not pm griff and see if he can fit you in on the 18th round mine mate. Not sure if he does this but worth an ask.

I found this site a while ago,

http://www.motohaus.com/acatalog/Leak_Proof_Fork_Seals.html

they come with a life time guarantee and there easy to fit.

i`ll be fitting some the next time mine go.:thumbup

If it's the bottom part of the fork,Im sure Griff sends them to PDQ,who will rebuild the bottom ,but check with him as he has had bad experience from other so called specialists

Hey I've heard good things about that place. That is the dyno shop? Martin Ogmore ? from Suzuki uk reckoned they were a place that he trusted as they really knew their stuff.

Cheers guys just rung pdq, gonna be leaving the bike with them on Aug 15th. Just after pay day.
They didn't want to give me a quote without seeing the bike, which is fair enough. Does anyone want to hazard a guess as to what it'll cost me:dunno? gonna get all the seals replaced while their at it for peace of mind.

deffo pdq m8. when i got mine done at my local bike place it cost me 140 for seales and bushes. i would hold back 200 just to be on the safe side but shouldnt be any more than that, depending on how much labour is involved.
