Hi, How much do you want for this? Have you got any pictures of the repair required?

Does anybody know what the reference numbers are for the front side light bulbs. I have a Gen 1 and can confirm they are the push fit type. Thanks

and thank you Mike for your invaluable help as usual

Thanks Mike, PM left

Is there anybody in SE London/Kent that would be able to replace my front wheel bearings if I delivered the wheel and the bearings?

Thanks.

The bike is firmer and more predictable. I have done my best to use up all the travel and I still have 20mm. If you hit road bumps at speed, 40mph and over the bike does tend to fly over them so some fettling will be worthwhile. This is my first efforts at changing springs, oils etc in front forks and now I've done it I would have no problems in doing it again.
I think Kebab will be playing with adjustments on his bike soon but he is lighter than me and his bike was not 25mm higher at the rear in the first place so our settings will be different.

Hi, you are correct, I do shop on eBay......sorry.
I have upgraded the forks with Blackbird springs, 0.95kg/mm as suggested by Kebab. I also added 10mml of 7.5W oil to each leg. The existing oil looked fine so I didn't see the point of changing it. Forks had only travelled 7k miles.
I have set preload to two rings, compression and rebound is on standard settings. I have 20mm of travel left after braking hard from 70mph    and riding faster than normal over some very uneven road including pot holes etc.
The bike is already fitted with after market dogbones which raises the rear by about 20mm. The new forks are 25mm shorter than standard.
The bike turns much quicker and appears to follow the turn much tighter than standard forks. I must admit my original forks have travelled 57k miles with two oil changes in that time. I propose to change settings to see if the ride improves but I am already more than happy. I would have paid more for a rebuild than this conversion cost me.
Kebab has been fantastic, thanks mate. I would not have even attempted this without his support. He has sent me numerous emails, links and advice over the past week and I owe him a pint or three.
I will provide an update after I have had a play.

£50 is better !

Does it have to have a black engine? I have a very nice 05 with around 2k miles, silver engine. As new.Some nice extras, GTY Risers, R1 gear change mod, new tyres, lower fairing plus some other bits. If you want more information PM me
