Good luck
I have chrome Forsa shocks on my 750 they've been on there for about 2-3 years now only polished them twice as I don't like cleaning and there looking as good as new but more importantly there so much better than the originals.They are rather stiff so I recommend leaving them on the softest setting.   

I could do with enough side panel grommets for two bikes.
Are the 750 fork tubes just for the later K's?

Green1 how many of each grommet type would you like and I installed my forsa shocks tonight so hopefully get to test them out over the weekend a lot of people have said good things about them.

Thanks everyone for the great comments I hope it goes well and I can keep expanding the stock range.

I have no problem with you selling via the site Stuart, .net do it all the time (eg Hondaman)

I'll PM you the "terms" and we should think about where such a section should go.
