Thanks, Chris - Yup, once the snow melts and we get back into the 50's, I'mm looking forward to racking up the miles. The bars are Rizoma MA005G on Rizoma...
Who on the list has upgraded their headlights? I was thinking of installing HIDs, at least on the high beams. What type of bulb does the GC use? Has anyone...
I Changed low beam on mine with one PIAA Extreme White Light Bulb H3 from desmotimes.com. Very Nice improvement !!! I want, in fact, to change high beams but...
Hi Steve , You are the first person I've met that has also done the 900 SS heads and cams . I used the 1995 model carb cams and it has worked out real well . I...
Hi folks, I'm a new owner in the UK, having just bought a '99 bike off eBay. Not even collected it yet but can't wait! Quick question or two, anything major I...
Welcome Nik, I'm certain the GC won't disappoint! I would imagine the previous owner(s) would have covered anything to watch out for, but if not, here is a...
Hi Nik, The electrical connector between the wiring harness and the voltage regulator (under rear rack) needs to be replaced with a better one or by butt...
My GC stays ..the other bike will have to go ! This Retro british replica, in excellent condition, is a sweet machine with only 6150 Mi,mild air box and...
Joe, you have good taste in bikes... though I should admit I might be a little bit biased.  FWIW, I just sold my '07 V-Strom on Saturday. Both the GC and...
Thanks John and Geoff, must appreciated. Can't wait to pick the bike up. I used to own a 900SS and adored the engine, so really looking forward to getting on...
Welcome to the group Nik, you'll love the GC. Regarding the belts, I don't think that the belt covers can be removed unless the exhaust comes off. The good...
Hi John: Yeah - I saw your posts on the work you had done to yours and the info was encouraging. I took the entire top-end off a 2002 900SS ie based on Brad...
Not true. Just pop the horizontal cylinder header out of its seat, loosen the midpipe clamp, remove the oil pressure switch and you can get the belt covers...
amen, I have #2 GC at about 100,000km #1 went that far before its demise. I am test riding and reading about others and #3 is on the A-list again ... From:...
I guess I should have been more clear, I was referring only to the horz. cylinder header pipe, not the complete exhaust system. I find that since you have...
Thanks for the replies guys. It's no biggie taking the front exhaust section off anyway. I've got a nice ally clamp off my old SS I can fit while I'm there. ...
Thanks for the tips Chris! When you say the connectors were fried, do you mean they were badly corroded? I'll certainly inspect them, and perhaps pack them...
Guys, Can anyone point me in the right direction for engine bars please? Ideally UK or Europe based. I'd also like to get some heavy-duty hand- guards that...
Seems like a few of the links are out of date - not much doing on there I'm afraid. Some good pics in the pictures section though. The 17" front wheel pics...
Amazingly, she still ran fine but the rear connector was charred/black/burnt....~6 months later the middle connector started to show similar problem. When I...
Sounds nasty! So I guess you just by-passed the connectors by hard-wiring the harness? I'll check all the relays against Ducati ones and see if I have any left...
Some people go to the trouble of replacing the connectors w/ something more to the task. I hard-wired out both connectors as the VR is heat sunk to the rear...
I fixed a few of the dead links. Created a new one for the hepco becker engine guards for a european distributor. For handguards, many have fitted the acerbis...
I run the 16 tooth front and 45 rear sprockets with stock sized Pireli Scorpion Syncs and it's a perfect combination for my riding needs . I have a stock ST2...
A bit gushy, seriously? To me this bike rides like an Italian sports car, way too stiff. I have hit bumbs in corners that have made me end up on a...
I put a wilbers shock on the back and revalved/resprung the front. Mid-corner bumps don't faze it now. Take the bike to a suspension specialist and they'll set...
