I think the price that Jez quoted there was for Maxton’s multi adjustable replacement cartridges which probably aren’t suitable for the S2R.

I also think to be honest, that because rac3r is looking for somewhere to take the bike and have them do everything it’s going to be a tough call to come up with an economical complete service that is going give the kind of results a pure suspension specialist can achieve when they given just the forks to work on as is the case for most of them.
Agreed.

The more you look into a "suspension upgrade", the more questions come up, almost as fast as the prices do. Its really not straight forward at all.

I've come to the following conclusion (at the momment!)
Everything twenty years newer is works far better
The amount I spend will likely reflect the improvement -provided I use a reputable supplier.
