Hi AK, the bike I want the forks for is a 2002 620Sie, if the set of forks you have are suitable for this bike I will be happy to buy them from you.

These will fit then mate, might want re-oiling, but otherwise fine to go.
Fork seals are fine, not leaking, straight and no marking on the tubes that I can see.
Been kept as spares for previous bike
Drop me a PM if you do want them, tho am logging off for tonight so you might not get reply till tomorrow afternoon.

Very nice. I assume this is raced in the DD series?

And the partner to Tango M800 this year - is 'BigBike' - I know its NOT a monster, but thought she deserved a piccy, as she only part emerged from her chrysalis yesterday at Brands Hatch.........

Both bikes ran well at their first airing of the season, so are just about ready for the official Thundersport GB test day next Sunday at Mallory

Just to let you know, that the testing went ok, no bike missed a session - tho temps hardly rose above zero.

NickB#34 piloted Tango round for Sam for the day - found a minor clutch prob which AK overcame by quickly stripping down & re-building, in between sessions.
Apart from the bitter cold, Nick got his head right into it & produced some good times, only 5 seconds off winning J/P pace on a good day - he also shot past a 1098R & a DD16 in his group during the afternoon........more than once!

Clint got to grips with Bigbike (1098s) well, taking his time to build up the relationship.
He started on a set of brand new Super Corsa's as the track was very very cold - quite a bit of salt down & a good amount of frost when off the racing lines. The sun didnt come out till about midday during the last morning sessions.
By the time he'd done the morning, he was asking to have a slick on the rear as we did need to test the different tyres.
Over lunch AK swapped the tyre over (the rear SC was by now shagged after 4 sessions on track!) & Clint cracked off out on track at 2pm when the afternoon sessions started.
This did make a difference - and despite track temps not getting above 1 degree, he still managed to pop in consistent 53's in this and the next session, popping past some Superstock lads in the process. Looking likely that 48''s - 49's will be the order of the day later in the year when its warmer - if not lower.

Good to see a few friendly faces pop in during the day - Uncle Brown (now official team film man) JerryXT & Toby, Lucaz, Jimbo696, MW & Lizzie - as well as others too.

Came home happy with both bikes intact, looking forwards to next weeks official test at Mallory

Big thanks to UKMOC's Kato for getting the 1098s paintwork done in time!
