I reckon someone like Phillpots could straighten those stanchions if the chrome is good. That ought to be cheaper than replacing them.

Mick have you considered a new set from Norbo?
I really had trouble deciding which route to take with my F2 stantions.
I ended up sending the OEM ones to Philpotts. However at £185 to get them rechromed, Norbo’s at £190 look to be very good value.

yep probably be messaging norbo with a list soon.
Have stripped forks out & resprayed mirrors. Waiting for dent man to get back to me and sort sending bike to motoliner just to check once forks are done. couple of bits of plastic welding & bit of straightening to sort and all done.

Mick, if you want the number of the plastics guy I use, just post on here or PM.
He’s probably half way between me or you, in Bearstead.
Of course you’ll have to repaint the panel afterwards.

Mick, I’ll look tommorow; but I’m sure I have bought a fair few spare YPVS radiators in the past.
If I have your welcome to come round and have a look?

Mick, you’ve got to be pleased with that? Jon Yeah John he did a great job. Quoted 8hrs work but took 5 weeks as seemed to be on holiday & running training courses often. Need to have a look inside & see if the liner is cracked. Also need a dab of clear nail varnish on the left blue stripe at the bottom as bit of lacquer came off with tank protector.
