      Yeah you get imported shocks in Karol bagh, some 15-20k IIRC. Contact any rally team mechanic.

                But, altering the bike's forks will ruin the bike's geometry and will result in stability problems. I would recommend you not to mess with the forks !

                  if iam wright when u need to change the fork (which is generally said)

                  in terms inner tubes, tee stem & clamp (related acces) and outer tube/fork

                  these are the things to be changed.

                  the crucial part is to select the right tee stem & their height/length of the stem (spindle)

                  the clamp which is used to hold the handle bar to be chosen right which is the deciding factor for reach & ht. if the tee stem & the clamp is not selected correctly definitely u will ruin the geometry of the bike trail, rake angle offset from steering axis etccccc

                    AFAIK raising fork by 1 or 2mm wont hamper handling in anyway. I have raised my Unicorn's fork by half inch and it hasn't created any problem to me.

                    To raise the fork we get some metal bushes, this is what the mech told me.

                    But i am pretty happy with it

                    Bushes cost about 150rs + fork oil has to be changed.
