There is a set of ST forks on Ebay at the moment, bidding is currently at £80
Kev P picked up a set of 900SSie or possibly 1000SS/DS ones a couple of weeks ago for £100.
The ones I bought came off Ebay, listed by Steve Klee so I met up with him last Wednesday and saved on the postage

Just a thought, but it seemed to me that while we were on the Pirellis, especially the year on the Rossos, fiddling with suspension was important to get the best out of the tyres.

Last year with the stickier Dunlops, I reckon the properly set up pair of non-adjustable forks from 2009 would have been as good as the adjustable ones I was using.

But then I'm a bit of novice when it comes to forks.......

I and dozens of others are probably watching that pair

And like most things in life, its who not what you know and as much right place right time as anything... I dont even have my bike yet

I'll probably just get them resprung for me anyway, as I said before; too much to worry about with gearing never mind suspension

Hugh used the same gearing everywhere and it didn't seem to slow him down.

[bradders]

but I'd expect with a super light weight bike and pilot, making decent power, the gearing is less important....who knows...I'm probably talking bollix as normal

[Jolley]

His bike wasn't as light as everyone assumed. I'm pretty sure it was over 160kg (so a good 10kg more than some! ), and Hugh isn't exactly a lightweight due to his height...

[bradders]

I'd be amazed if it was, unless those cans added so much, as it was probably the best bike in the paddock when he bought it; light, powerful and brilliantly put together by one of the best Ducati guys out there
