£1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are having a laugh?!?!?!?!?!

What sort of specialists have you been talking to

Forks should be less than £250 as there isn't a great deal you can do with them (short of changing oil & springs)

Ohlins rear shocks (who I'm not talking to) can be had for under £400 (If you ask a shop keeper nicely).

I'm glad I was sitting down when you said that

Manxton - The conversion costs £340.00, this includes fitting and machining the Maxton cartridges, machining new bushes and fitting springs to suit the riders weight and what they us ethe bike for

Reactive - Your forks can be modified internally with new springs, pistons and valving the cost would be £450

Is there something I'm missing here?

All I wanted to do at the front end this year was change springs in the forks - anyone know a likely source. Hyperpro and Ohlins have both said they don't do them for a 620??

If a rear shock is available at a sensible price then I'm interested.
