FORKS AND SHOCKS

Forks were a bit spindly until the E models. There were issues from new with the internal bushes. Rear shocks were a bit cheap and nasty when new, and the bike will benefit from decent replacements. Ikons are the ones to lust after at around £350; Hagons will be £150 and if you want originality rather than roadholding, budget replicas cost between £50 and £70.
