I know some have gone for the upside down option.
So has anybody got a set of standard forks for sale ?, my stantions are pitted and the adjusters on the sliders are seized.

Know what your saying Seth but the adjusters on the sliders are seized too and the suspension guys advised replacing them too. How much was the re caroming out of interest ?

from memory it was about £160 ish for both stantions took a few weeks to come back but finish still like new and another 20000 miles on them now.
i see what you say about the lowers having seized adjusters .
so might be an option to replace all .
but might be easier to get stantion's refurbished and try to get a set of lowers 2nd hand just remember get same year lowers as there were a few changes between models
k5 on all the same
k3&4 same as each other
k2 different to others
if you buy a complete set of forks as long as you fit the pair they will fit with any year.
