If you are asking; am I seeing this correctly? Then the answer is yes.

If you are asking if the price is right then I dunno, but it seemed like a fair price when I listed it given how scarce they were when I went looking for them and what I paid for them.

Were they crappy aftermarket items then the pricing might be a bit different.

I am still looking for the kit in the boxes here hence no photo.

Can't find the kit any where at the moment so I have removed the auction now anyway :) Might turn up when we move house.

For Info
On phoning round for the parts, and before buying the two sets of seals seperately from wemoto, I was quoted £81.61 for the fork kit. Assuming this is more than just oil and dust seals, but as I'd already got the oil seals and was gambling on the dust wipers fitting I didn't call them back

That sounds exactly like my experience. I try to avoid using after market engine oil seals though as I find they generally allow oil seep so I hunted down some OEM NOS Marzocchi ones. Still haven't found them by the way!

I have found them now that the house packing is well under way. The price marked on the front of the box is £91.46 for those interested. I will be relisting them one ebay once we have moved as I have sold my bike and no longer need them as "spares on tap".
