Right then, here we go:
1) I intend to refurbish my lower fork legs as they're marked and the paint is wearing off due to the bike being 15 years old.
So I'm getting the forks stripped and rebuilt with new seals and fresh oil and while they're apart what should I do with the fork legs?
I'm thinking of stripping them back to metal then spraying them up silver or black and giving them a good laquer. Any other suggestions as to what I could do, are there any procedures which are commonly performed to refurbish lower fork legs?
2) My speedo reads in KMH, so all of the mileage so far is correct and true in KM. However it's a bit of a pain in this country so I have a few options.
i) Sticker the face up with mph equivalents
ii) Get a kmh>mph converter and bolt it to the speedo cable (this means that I'll have to record the current mileage in KM and then work out how many miles it's done after that - it's basically a ball ache and could cause complications when I come to sell it).
iii) My preferred option - buy a digital speedo.
Now, does anybody have any reccomendations for a digital speedo which can be fitted to any bike? It'd be super useful if it had a clock and a trip computer too. Are there such devices? If so, where do I get them from?
I've tried to categories the questions, so please feel free to answer any that you can!
Cheers.
