By the time you service and coat them, it would cost the same as picking up a second hand pair of Ohlins.
You find them for about $1000 over here is Oz so I'm sure the price wouldnt be that much different in 2/3 Great Britian and Scotland..

Yes probably more cost effective to buy new stauntions in gold.

Removing the stauntions from the lowers is tricky

Ouch didn't think it would cost that much was thinking about 350 to have them stripped recoated and rebuilt . How would I get all the black anodising off the forks so there all silver ?

That sound a bit more doable

They also 'pepperpot' the top adjuster caps included in the price (as per Ohlins forks) Total job takes around 3 weeks
