Picked this up from the local parcelforce depot this morning...

It was like cristmas come early

couldn't wait to get it home and opened!

I'm dreading what condition the linkage bearings are in after 35000 miles in most weathers

Fancy!

It should complimant the GSXR forks nicely I reckon

Dave20046 · 12-09-09, 12:49 PM

Lovely, you ridden the bike with the gsxr forks yet?

12-09-09, 01:20 PM

Nice, good luck with the linkage, I cant get mine undone for love nor money! I'm guessing it passed the MOT btw?

I rode it for a couple of hundred miles since the front end went on but as the bottom yoke was twisted it made it all a bit wonky. That's sorted now

I didn't quite get the brakes sorted in time for the mot so cancelled it for now

Will report back, most of those miles were done in Scotland by kitkat in all weather including a bit of snow and it's seen some action (albeit slow action) around Knockhill a few times

Just been out to the garage to strip my spare frame of it's linkage (no idea what mileage it's done) and that one came out fine and the bearings feel good as well. Just needs a clean and re-grease
