You have a collection? I thought you just had a hammer shaped toolcase.

Gutted to hear the news Pete and Lissa. I know how you both love that bike and took great care in it.

So when are you buying a pointy SV thou?

One of my very good friends, who is also a friend of DoubleD on here has two Dukes an S4R and an 900SS. He uses an ex Ducati bloke to service and do big work on his bikes. Steve lives in Blackpool so I reckon his Duke guy ain't that far away. Think I've mentioned him before.

Could always give him a shout and see if his cheaper duke solo bloke can do something? If Ipswich is too far away?

i have gas-axe for that

I think it is very similar motor to 916. Basically if you buy anything from wops you're screwed. Unless you have the good sense to buy a wop bike with a suzuki motor in it
