Geo...like your man said, thats not a good place to have weak forks legs..........I was assuming it was benny wheeling it that fooked the forks, but that is bad plating and low cost aluminium materials

Well the tank was nigh on empty when I got it. lol

On another plus side, I have had a couple of loan bikes to play with

I prefer the Gladius engine but the fairing on the ER6F makes for much more comfotable riding at speed.

Both pretty good bikes. I can see one of them in my garage in the future. Not for me though. The wife is after one :roll:

What size tyres fit the storm?

I might be selling a set of almost new Dunlop Sportmax Sportsmarts (I think they are) The were new when I bought the bike and only done about 150 miles (if that)

Front tyre size 120/70 x 17
Rear tyre size 180/55 x 17

Will they fit?

Would anyone on here be interested?

Depending on price I may take these off your hands. I was looking at getting a sports pair for the bike now I have a car. Something with a bit more grip and sport profile.

Glad to hear youv sorted your forks :thumbup:

On top of that, I'm off all next week and it's meant to be getting warmer, Win win!

Oh and I can get in my leathers but can't breathe. lol
