They go for anywhere between £80 - £140 depending on condition and quality of photos. I've been watching for months as I want a pair of nitrided ones for my SS.

A pair with ohlins internals went for £350 t'other day

I spoke to one of the suspension houses a few weeks ago (can't remeber which at the mo) that reckoned on about £80 for both legs to be nitrided while the forks were apart for a service and new seals. It's guaranteed to be one of those things that if you find out who actually does it, they'll do it for next to bugger-all.

Try these guys:

Good luck,
