Yes Terry Hay's Shock Treatment.

They had my forks for three months,too busy to look at them.
They said my legs needed to be re-chromed,when I asked about
new replacements they said "not available"
The initial quote for front and the rear shock was about $600 to $900.00
The chroming was going to be about$400.00.
Final price was $1761.45
The chroming was charged at $560.00 plus GST

When I fitted the forks to the bike the front axle would not fit in the hole.
I had to re-machine the hole for the axle to fit,both sides.
Once I had the front wheel fitted there was a loud squeaking noise from the front forks!
I called and spoke to Terry and he said the Initial price was "trade" and I was not "trade",
even thought I am a licenced mechanic and am working in the "Trade"
His explanation for the loud squeaking was "It will go away"
He went further to say that it was the springs rubbing on the inside of the forks because they were
bowing under the pre-load.
It had no noise before I sent the forks in,I only actually wanted to get them sorted out
for my weight,the chrome looked fine althought they were assembled when i sent them in.
The bike has done a few K's so he was probaly right the chrome probaly was on its last leg's.
Now I have a $1761.45 dollar SQUEAK
Don't forget to add the cost of freight as well!
I would rather use HARLEY forks on my BUSA than go back there.
The other thing is they are going to need rebuilding once the metal filings
from the springs rubbing internally circulate through the new GOLD VALVES and destroy them!
THAT IS WHY I WOULD NOT TAKE MY SUSPENSION TO
SHOCK TREATMENT!
