Just added another set of 900 forks to the collection as i have bought another pair which are in good condition and no snapped bolts will repair the other set and keep them for a spare pair for either bike.

Still waiting on the clip ons

Whilst on the subject any one have any ideas on fairings as both sides are total loss really

Mario has a set of second-hand fairings that he will sell, his email address is - mario.nava@tiscali.it

Got my 45mm clips and they fit :D i must say that woodcraft were very good sorting the mix up they made so plus 1 to them
Ordered my new fairing :lol: which should be here in the next week or so.

Once im done tommorow with the track days il get in the garage and do a right up on the woodcrafts for any one else who would like to go that route.
