On my way maintenance kit in hand......................

I have a pair of em on my storm and am sure the frame will bend / collapse before the brackets shear. Incidently the my bolts were also covered in white powder and nearly siezed, and the bike was old a year or so old when I fitted em. Not sure if I mentioned this before but the electroplating Honda ...

Good to hear from another Qlder too. I got pulled in Eagle Farm last week and usually travel the Gateway which is not the greatest of routes!

Gis a shout if you wanna go for blast one weekend!

VTRGirl: No need for leathers in Aus, speed limit is so knaff, even the lycra boys come passed you on the 'highways' 8O I got stopped yesterday for speeding! 'What was I doing officer' I asked, his reply: 'Dunno, did not have the gun on you, but know you were speeding!' Can you fugging believe that?...

Thanks Cuppa, life down under is great. The speed limits suck so bad I have decided to put 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th gears on eBay, I have no use for em anymore! :roll: However, you do have loads of sunshine in which to enjoy the use of 1st and 2nd gears only! :D Winter is nearly here, it's dropped to...

Cheers Bink, will drop em a line.

I had my forks Roger Revolutionised last year and now have a leaking fork seal. Anyone know what oil he uses, or any recommendations for a good oil to use when I sort the leak?

Fester: I take it Roger set your forks up for you after the rework, what preload rebound setting are you running?

I have just set mine up according to the Gospel of Roger and it feels great, I really just wanted to get a comparison to what I have got.

Tony, I had the same problem a while back with my F2. I'd leave the Optimate plugged in for 2 - 3 days before the weekend. First couple of starts worked fine but after a while solenoid would arc but no starter. :oops: :oops: It was the postive terminal on the front of the starter. The rubber grommet...

Okay take that last statement back I have just had to wait nearly 3 weeks for a Fabbri screen from them and 12 days for braided hoses!

Druid, any idea what the rear sag was set at? Did you get the emulsion WP offering or the fully adjustable?

4.5K?? No complaints there I reckon! 2.2K from my 204 Dunflops! :roll: I have just had a set of BT014's fitted for £170 so your £130 for a rear 020 sounds a lil high, I may be wrong?? The fitter who sold them to me did tell me never to fit 010 front with 012 rear, which I thought was quite a logic...

I have just had a pair fitted. I'm out of action for a while but will let you know how they go.

I have to say I have not had any troubles with DT, I just find them to be kin expensive compared to other places.

If anyone in North Hampshire need tyres these guys are superb, great lads, good advice, loads of stock and well priced.

They are a little bit out of the way, but seriously worth the trip.
