Quick note, coppaslip or similar on the backs of pads is good. using it on the pistons isn't good, the copper grains in it will abrade your piston seals and wear them prematurely. The red grease for rubber is the stuff to use for this.

Ref the forks.
If its the inners pitted, you should be able to recover them if they are not totally shot.
Strip the Forks, get some worn wet and dry paper (fine grade) and some three in one light oil. Put the oil on the wet and dry and gently abraid the forks.... you should feel the sharp edges of the pits dissapear, and the forks will be good for a lot longer.

Thanks very much. Sounds like a good idea on the forks. I will deffinately be giving that a go when the bikes back. I will eventually be getting the forks hard coated as they are in very good condition other than that. But that can wait a while. Anyone know a good place to have it done?
