At the same time the forks were given a full service with new seals and bushes. They also serviced the rear shock and changed the spring to suit as well.

Total cost was £289 incl delivery.

As I never rode the bike before, I can't offer back to back comparison but I can say that they've performed flawlessly all season (unlike the rider!) and I reckon they're better than the ones on the 748 now.

I took Antony's advice and went to racing lines also.

Clive was good enough to point out that although I'd asked him to change the springs etc, the later Monster springs were better rated than the earlier ones and we agreed that they didn't need replacing, just new shims, more oil etc.... which meant it was a whole lot cheaper as the springs are the major part of the quoted cost.

Recommended.
