Originally posted by MARTIN H Is that a Maxton spring on the 996? Took mine in to hobbsport a couple of days ago (fork seals) and he was trying to sell me a hyperpro suspension kit that had a purple spring very much the same shade as the maxton ones.
Nice bike by the way!
the purple is a HyperPro trademark, I don't think anyone else makes purple ones ....
No Maxton ones are definitley purple! Only been there once about 9 year ago but I remember boxes full of purple springs everywhere one of which ended up fitted to my new 96 blade.
Its a Maxton spring, they sorted the back end end out, very pleased
That was a bit weird, like I said I only went there the once all those years ago but if you look on the wheel alignment page that Fireblade is my mates who also took his in for new suspension the same day as me. I remember Ron Maxton asking my mate if he minded him taking a pic of his bike with his new invention the "Ronometer" attached. Was a little put out that he wanted a pic of my mates bike but not mine! Forgot all about it till now.
Nice bike, Shaun. KTM have a pretty good line-up of bikes with the big v-twin engine. I like the Super Duke. Cracking bike that. But, I am saving me pennies until the release this:
