    North Wilts Engineering in Swindon Old Town used to do it. Not sure if
    they still do.

    If you can strip the forks off the bike yourself you could do worse than
    try Beales of Bath (Motor Engineers).

    How much are you looking to pay?

    I got a pair of new fork legs for the TZR for under £100.

    *Very* good point. It depends on the bike and our new clueless one
    doesn't say. For example, new forks for my old 400 Four are about ukp35
    a side from Dave Silver.

    Always check new prices before going for a repair - sometimes you get a
    nice surprise.

    of course, if he's got a modern Jap plastic rocket he's probably out of
    luck. But then many of these wide-diameter thin-wall forks can't be
    straightened anyway as they crease in impacts.
