Depends what sort of service you want. Strip, clean and put back together with the correct oil levels in I can do them.
Replacing main oil seal can be done (cost a bit though iirc)
Replacing air seal is trickier, but I could possibly do them. Depends what's left in my stash.
O-rings I've not bothered to match up and I could at a push if sill there do bushings.
But you're SL's should be mint if they've hardly been used.
I can of course guide you through doing it yourself (there is a post with plenty of ramblings by me)
your other MAG21 they steel or Alu stanchions ?

Am not sure weather there ali or steel as I didn't know they did both!!
When I bought them they had a 1" steerer the crown was painted black.
I changed that with a 1-1/8" steerer that was silver a lot of mag21's I have seen had a sliver crown.
Did they do different models of the 21?.
But in ref to the work,the mag 21's I have hold air and air from what I can tell(not been fitted or used since I got them) and the sl's I won last week so still on there way frm the us.
But I think it would be best to see what needs doing to the ones I have now and the sl's a total going over so there spot on.
If you could pm me with suggestions as to cost etc that would be great!

1993, 1994, 1995+
Basically 3 models of MAG 21's
1993 and 1995+ used steel (silver) stanchions
1994 used gold Alu one (as your SL has, also from 1994)
round flat dials, not like the SL you have mean it's a 1993
1995+ will have similar dials to the SL you've just bought.
1995 the colour is different and the brace is the same colour.
That black crown is likely a bonty crown, I remember someone selling forks with one like it (northerndave)
No idea of prices, I guess postage will be the main part.
Still got the 1" steerer/crown ?

I wish I still did! I took it to the cycle surgery near where I live,they gave it me back but I forgot to pick it up again as I was talking/paying and had my 9 yr old son telling me to "hurry up!"
Shame it looked good with the black brace and black boots.
The dials on the top are flat and have a screw to take out the middle to put the air in(I have the old rs syringe pump)
Will have a check with a magnet for the legs but think there steel? Can't see any rust tho...

Thanks for that bit of info,will send a email to the address it says on the site,will outline what I have said on here and see what they say.
Says that cost could be anything upto $150 depending what state there in,but obviously want to see if they will be ok about shipping to the uk if not then I will pm you about sending them via your goodself.
Thanks for the link.

Btw what's the time diff to that part of the USA?

I don't think Hippietech do them any more from what I've read. Not sure about TF Tuned, give him an email or pm on there.
Honestly the SL's should only need a clean and the oil setting up for you.
The others without seeing them I don't know, but probably not much more than that either.
They are quite reliable forks luckily, best bit about them having a large bath of oil in them. Keeps the water away.
For $150 I so a pair quite easily :shock:
Of to Dalby today, but will get back if you really do think you need them doing.
Wait for the SL's to turn up though.

I think I will deffo get these one here done because there not the best condition cosmetically on the outer legs.
If you pm me your email add then I will send some photos so you could have a quick visual?
I would rather they get done here as it's gonna take ages to send/repaired/posted back I started with my the rts1 at least 3 months ago!! Waiting for parts etc now then will build up but of course want it 'just right'
