Get in touch with AK or some of the desmo racing guys. Maybe worth buying secondhand forks complete if not.

DD regs don't allow adjustable forks.
9x6 forks are no good, they need to be Monster/SS.

I would go for a complete second hand set for anything under £100 and change the oil/seals.

[Albie]

So what are the specs as brake/mudguard fittings. Old style or newer. As some ss ones for £100 complete and in rochester down the road from me.

[slob]

65mm caliper spacing, they're for a late model monster.

I've had to scrap a pair of adjustable Showas due to various external damage but have some of the internals left - what exactly do you need?

[slob]

One of the rebound adjusters (brass) is just turning in the housing (aluminium), I figured if there was any difference between models and we could get hold of a pair of tops we could use both brass screws,
Also, on the damaged side the spring and ball bearing must be missing/displaced/damaged inside the cap since there are no adjuster clicks as the screw turns.
Would ideally like the springs too.

DD allows adjustables for the class A bikes now Slob:)
Its just class B that doesnt still.

You are right about 9** forks not fitting - as different diameters - would need machining & shimming to fit if you got these mate :)

[slob]

blimey, you turn your back for a year and they change the rules.
Shpuld be plenty of non-adjustables about for sale then...

Sarah,

I've got a spare low mileage set of non adjustable legs off my 900ie dark. Fitted with uprated white power springs & new oil by DWR. Not looking to sell as I need them for bike when it gets sold, but available to loan if it get's you sorted for Belgium?

[paynep]

Back online now, PM sent. Sorry for the delay, I forgot we were away for the weekend...

[ladybird]

Problem solved by buying another monster :)
Hopefully picking her up on Saturday

[gary tompkins]

Oooh.. what did you get

Is it the one in the new Avatar?

[Albie]

Reckon so GT as its red again. Could have got a black one though I guess.

[gary tompkins]

I was only guessing it's the replacement because it's clean and un-furry

[Albie]

Its had a shave.I do prefer them smooth. You can polish them so you can see your face in them.

[ladybird]

Oooh.. what did you get

Is it the one in the new Avatar?

Yep, a new-to-me (picking up tomorrow) 900sie, just with 2k instead of 50k on it :D

The pipes and fur will be being ported to the new monnie.

Albie,

Have a word with your GP and get them to check your medication

The pills you're on for the shoulder are causing side effects :freak:
