Default Re: My new tyres were a waste of time.

so any shrad, 600 or 750 will fit with the bearing? what about the gsxr clipons can you use them? or o they need to be changed.

Too low, will catch on fairing. Many use TLS clipons. Or VTR clipons if you go for the SRAD600 forks.

Or do it properly and fit some risers and handlebars

Can take about two hours to fit including rigging up the speedo, depends on experience and the correct tools though.

Should you wish to get the original forks repaired, I'd try:
www.motoliner.com

As a first port of call, used several times, good service and good results.

A bit of wiring and a part form Ducati is all you need to rig the speedo on to the front wheel, 100% reliable for me since 2000.

Buy it all bit by bit if you have limited funds, if you shop carefully you can get all the money back by selling your SV front end.

i had found moto liners on the internet, im going to give them a ring to mo. will they want me to strip the forks or do they do it all?

cheers guys i think ill get gsxr stuff bit by bit that way i can get the stuff i want rather than have to sell stuff that come with bulk buy.

also, am i right in thinkin some sort of triamph wheel will let me use the original speedo? if so what one?
