  1. Silly I know, but I wanted to say thanks to all of you. It's nice to have similar passionate people to discuss details that only we'd understand. Roll on!
  2. I'm in marketing, not sure why this surprises me, lol. With this said, I'd opt for the KTM, rather than the Gas Gas or Husky. To further complicate things, consider SWM. These are Italian designed, rebranded Husky.
  3. Having riding about 20k on a set of Wilbers (2010 MG V7 Café Classic), I'll also recommend keeping and correcting them. They are incredibly adjustable, reliable, and no maintenance. With that said, you mentioned selling within the month. Then I'd venture to say, leave it alone. The next guy can set it up for his body weight, preference. It doesn't make sense to spend money, only to turn around and sell it. You'll lose every extra dollar you put into it.
  4. One item I'll offer, having gone through this last year, insertion. After purchasing the parts and installing with no luck, I disassembled and reassembled numerous times. Eventually it worked, having fully seated. It seems straightforward however I must have not inserted it cleanly more times than not. Since fitting securely, I've had no more trouble. fiddely things, they are.
  5. With the dirt bikes, I understood Husky/KTM frames were different, one being aluminum, the other steel. Also rear shock linkage is completely different.
  6. Thanks @GuzziMoto I follow MX and SX, never miss a race, so I am familiar with the brand partnerships. Justin Barcia's GasGas is actually a GG, and not a KTM, regardless of how many shared parts. With Pedro's MotoGP bike, I was made to understand it is not GasGas at all, 100% KTM.
  7. Yes, too soft. In fact, it almost looks like it's been cut. Doesn't it seem rather short? I don't have my bike on hand to compare.
  8. One other thing, can someone explain to me, the KTM vs GasGas livery? So Pedro is on a KTM, but with GasGas paint? why? That's as bad as putting a Chevy in a Ford.
  9. Is that stock, but maybe with an aftermarket spring?
  10. I stayed off the forum the last few days as I didn't watch the GP until last night, and didn't want a spoiler. Wow, fantastic race, and that track! I really like the drastic elevation changes and long straight for 200mph+ speeds. As you know #33BB is my guy and of all the riders this past weekend, he was the biggest winner! Not the fastest, but in the hunt, then the crashes, inherits fourth place, and suddenly second in the championship. Whew!
  11. Being concise and consistent is the first rule of branding. No one will remember a convoluted and changing message.
  12. Just spoke to Andreani again. They have yet to fit the uncommon 43mm size forks (@luckyphil). It was their impression, this is what I had given them. Although mine have confirmed their 40mm fittings, it did not gain them additional fitment as they had hoped. Anyone with 43mm interested? Those with 40mm forks, order with confidence!
  13. UPDATE: My forks are currently being worked on by Andreani. They have called a few times, just to update me on their findings. My forks are true, easily within spec limits. Bearings are slightly marred, but of no concern. He would possibly swap the bushings, but cannot find a parts source, even internationally. He wants to have this option for future orders, so he will continue to source these until successful. Their current cartridge kit has now been confirmed to fit for these forks/model years. Thus Andreani will be increasing their application fitment part numbers. They are appreciative of having this confirmation. At this point, anyone anxious, can call and order your kit now, or wait until they update their website, and order directly online. My forks will be completed today, so combined with shipping from NC to CA, I suspect I'll have these installed in the next 2-3 weeks. After my test ride, I'll report back!

  15. Try listing this on bringatrailer.com. I've sold two cars on there and they do also list cycles.
