Help for DesmoDue Newbies As sure a few of you are aware it can be difficult to know where to go to find up grades and just general race kit for the desmodue race bikes. I am starting this thread to pool together information that we have with the intention of creating a stick post (or adding to my stick want to be a dd racer?) with aproval from MT if this is with in the advertising rules with list of companys and where to find help when building a race bike and finding spares. Example http://www.ricambiweiss.de/ For race fairings http://www.hcracetech.co.uk/ Also race fairings - Matt T sponser http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Race-Supplies-Direct For rear sets and clip ons (what size do you need?) Race exhaust system by MHP http://www.racinglines.co.uk/ For race suspension work That type of Idea |
it doesnt relate to parts etc but i wrote a "how i got started" for another forum. it descends off topic a bit but here it is if anyone needs it. http://www.essexbikers.co.uk/forum/s...ead.php?t=8272 |
I would also highly recommend Maxton Suspension not just for new units but for refurb'ing forks and rear shocks. New springs to suit rider/bike damping mods, full services and bushes etc.. First class @ http://www.maxton.netspinners.co.uk They are always very busy so email....don't depend on the phone calls being return quickly |

Dom, Rather than have many individual posts on one thread, can they all be put into one list??? A few to add to that list would be. http://www.jacexhausts.co.uk/index.html They did the exhaust system on Matt's bike. http://www.ultimate-finish.co.uk/ Did Matt's frame and a frame for Skid's. http://www.carrotcycles.co.uk/ Converted 748/916 throttle and cable to be used on a 583.

Still awaiting the 2009 ACU Handbook, main thing that worries me is any change to noise regs and I'm also keeping an eye on the sizes they allow for the Race numbers. also just got to say I've had a couple of sets of K-Tech fork springs delivered very quickly by Brook Suspension in Bradford www.brooksuspension.co.uk just make sure you give them a delivery address where there is someone to sign for them, otherwise like me you will find the depot of the courier they use is 50 miles from where you work |
