All available in the DP catalogue mate!
Ian,
Good post,it made me want to go out for a ride.Shame I'm playing Mr.Mom and will be taking my daughter swimming in a mo.If only I could stretch her legs to reach the pillion pegs.........hmmm!
Rod is right about the suspension.A bit of fiddling can make a good handling bike into a great handling bike.
As standard the rear end was way too soft for me,also the rear preload markings are a bit confusing.The handbook says the std setting is at the lowest position yet it says STD half way up the scale of the adjuster.Ive set mine at STD plus two clicks.Ive also wound in the damping adjusters another turn.The front factory settings are good for me so I have left them alone.The bike handles great and gives me loads of confidence,even on some of the wet rides us BHC boys have had.
The bike is also way too quiet.Very un-Duke-like.I have fitted an open clutch cover and pinged out the airbox restrictors.The intake roar is lovely.Ive resisted the urge to splash out on a Termig system,I'm gonna wait untill some of those barking systems the continental boys have become available.The twin can SilMotors my favourite at the mo.
You are right about a hugger.After the (very) wet DSC track day my bike was filthy.Took me ages to clean it.The rear crankcases and shock area being the worst.I'm gonna go for the Skidmarx GRP item,(70quid)as I'm not bothered about carbon.
Just ordered some new tyres as the rear Scorpion is shot,..........happy days!
