    Last Wednesday got the fork seals done on the Bandit. Has made a difference but the springs are a tad fatigued.

    Thought I would check out Ikon as they supplied springs for my SV650 several years ago. Responded within 24 hours and price was $165.00 delivered, thought that was reasonable all things considered.

    Rode down to Brisbane on Friday, much improved feel on the front end, my mechanic said to get around buying new spring was to add a washer or two which in turn will stiffen the front, might give it a go.

    Overall, the bike is much improved and feels more stable than before, go the BANDIT.:thumb_ups:

    Use a car engine valve spring to space the spring up.
