Thx Bungi, I'll brave the cold later on and take a photo of it / get the model number of the Hyper. I do know that when I had the Gixer supension set up on a Silverstone trackday the Guy said it was a really good suspension with loads of range in both. Of course I would love to slap some Ohlins on her but I want to use some of the spare muller to upgrade the brakes and put a slipper in. I already have the STM 36 tooth race clutch so I belive I only need the STM internals to convert it. I was told when I bought it that the bloke paid £500 + for the Hyperpro and just figured it would be 1 down from Olins and 1 up from standard Showa.

Hi Craig,

I have a hypro'd 900ss ie and Ktec'd R1.

The bikes are light years appart.

The Duke is as hard as a go-cart, whereas the R1 is really soft and uses the suspension much more freely.

Personally I'd leave the GSX'r as it is, sorted, and concentrate on upgrading the Duke with Hyperpro or Ktec service/upgrades or pick up Ohlins for it, but you'll still need a setup for you.
