Suspensions Wheels Frames Electrics
SUSPENSIONS: Damper conversions to Roadholder forks (eliminates clanking and banging over ruts and bumps). Bush and seal replacement, headrace bearing conversions (no more tedious dismantling and greasing). Broken pinch bolts and lugs repaired. Dampers and springs supplied to individual requirements.

Better still, why not fit alternative forks and enjoy a supple, modern ride?
WHEELS AND BRAKES: Wheels built and trued. Bearings and axles converted. We are happy to advise on optimum rim and tyre types and sizes for your bike. Disc brake conversions that look good and work brilliantly - no point in getting it to go fast if you can't stop!

Making a 650ss stop on modern roads.....twin disc and suspension conversion.....a REAL featherbed ride with awesome but predictable braking, wet or dry.
