Gix Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 Just now, heds954 said: No, not on mine. I was tempted, especially after reading that mag article on the ultimate 954 (built by the owner of HPS - I still have that article somewhere), that had BST's on it. Yeah, the bike is flighty, but it's a case of checking the usual suspects, head bearings, tyre pressures etc, and when all else fails, get a GPR damper. TBH the 954 being flighty was the best part for me (I just needed to temper it a little with the damper). Yeah, I like a bike to be a bit flighty, Changing to taper head bearings this weekend and got a sprint damper at mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the bike and how / where the fitting kit attaches to the bike. I had one on my 954 (well, two, as I upgraded to a later version), and have a v4 on my 600rr, and had no issue with either.

flange Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 On 3/9/2024 at 2:25 PM, heds954 said: Oh, ohhh, have you, 'Done a @flange*'? *Definition: verb - as in, bought something for a bike, without checking if it fits, hence, "Oh, no, I've gone and done a @flange!" I'm not sure where you've got this impression of me from, but it's highly(painfully) accurate... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
