Been working on my own bikes over the last couple of days including the bike pictured above which is now almost complete and ready to run, as such it will be a good spare for next season

Which means I will soon have a unraced 620 Engine, Injectors, Decoded ECU and loom for sale

I've done a few more things to the Multistrada 620 but with what it will cost to get properly sorted and the current market values it's likely that I will end up breaking it.

Class B bike is waiting for its new owner, it wasn't charging after Brands when we robbed it of a few bits and in doing so we managed to disconnect one of the wires to the regulator/rectifier so with it reconnected all is good.

Might have to pay a visit to Alex George's (next to H-Cafe) tomorrow to take advantage of their 25% off and grab a battery, chain and oil for next years race bike

Got it running a few weeks ago and now thanks to Dallas it's looking more like my 2014 DD bike

Cheers Simon, will be very similar to my 2014 race bike.
Apart from acting as a spare it will hopefully be an experimental bike
I have several shocks I have modified to fit, including Ohlins, WP, Nitron and Penske
And will have a couple of fork options to try
One set similar to yours which will be using 916 internals
2nd set will have the Mupo cartridge kit in them that didn't work at all for Dallas in 2012
and then a set of ST3 forks with a FG piston/shim kit in them

Also want to try slightly different fork spring rates such as 0.85 / 0.875 / 0.90 kg/mm

All I really need is a great big workshop
