Forgot to add Ali,

Remember to check throughly....

Steering head bearings
Wheel bearings
Swingarm pivot bushes
Rear shock mounting points

Erm....well really anything that moves

Very nice Ali, nice to see another Duke owner in Rickmansworth!

Have you sent you a U2U re garages

Maybe see you down the Artichoke pub soon?

Chi: Think I can hold off on the swingarm until I make my first million.

Frank: Frame is definitely original (all old stickers etc) but my digicam seems to freak in certain lights. Brake fluid from the stone ages. Getting a bit of motorway weave, which if I remember right is head bearings? Wheel bearings seem fine, but can't really tell how she's handling as the rear tyre is cooked edge-to-edge.

Talking of which, what's the current favorite on tyres??? Last time I had a 900 it was dragons but I guess things have moved on since then....

Cheers,

Ali

Good man !!!

Bridgestone BT010's were good for me in the wet - 012 and 014 are newer.

I've moved on to Pirelli Dragon Corsa's and am very happy with em so far

Nice one Ali, welcome to the club.

Bike looks nice and is a dead ringer for mine, is it a superlight V and if so what number ???

Enjoy
Ian

'tis indeed, number 173. Did you buy new baffles for your 'zorsts or just butcher the original ones?

Does anyone have experience of both Dragon Corsas and Diablos? I used to love Dragons but would love to know how the Diablos feel.

I'm also looking for a decent tankbag. Anyone any good experiences, or know which ones fit the 900 tank particularly well?

Cheers,

Ali
