Thanks s1oppy for your input it's always welcome..

right... Akey..

I've inspected the front end today (felt a little better today)..

here go's.. both seals are blown, we have a 10mm bolt snapped into the stanchion..(that holds the mudguard on).. the fork legs seam straight but have found movement on the forks..

(when you grip the front wheel between your legs and turn the handlebars you can twist the forks)..

I'm going to make a brace that will clamp onto the top of the stanchions this should stiffen up the forks..

I'll buy some fork seals around £6 i think ?

I'll try and get some shims made for the fork springs.( spacers for preloading springs )

I'll let you know how i get on..
