  1. I have For Sale,an Ohlins ya535,just had it completely renewed a100 miles ago,new internals,new shock body and new spring,so a basically new shock,these are £1100,i'm looking for £750ono,2 comfort seats as new,£250,puig screen with spoiler,light tint,as new £75,givi tank ring and sat nav bracket(above the clocks)£30,thanks gary.
  2. Yes it is more about the bracket,Thanks guys.
  3. Iv'e had the front forks fitted with ohlins springs and re-valved and bought a used ya 535 ohlins shock from ebay but apart from the shock body being worn out inside[i have a new one on order] i have NO BRACKET to attach it to the bike,the suspension expert who is doing this for me in the UK says the bracket is not an ohlins part,so has anybody who has done this to a 2020 900gt got any idea if such a bracket exists or do you have to make your own,thanks in advance for any replies.
  4. Having had a 2013,2018 and 2021 ninja 1000 and the latest versys,why have i now got a 2020 tracer 900 GT,the ninja 1000's are neither sports and definitely not tourers,even with 40mm bar risers on the bars are still way too low to be a tourer especially two up,the latest ninja 1000 has a seat that is possibly 3 times thicker than the older models BUT if you are heavy after an hour you start to sink in the seat as its far too soft and you feel like you are sitting on the frame,me and the wife were 200 miles from home after being out on it for hours,we had to stop every 50 miles as it was so uncomfortable,the tracer has the perfect bar,peg,seat position,the versys 1000 is so much heavier than the ninja with a "detuned version"of the same engine,you would think a heavier bike would have at least the same 140bhp engine as the ninja but no a paltry 118bhp for a bike that weighs over 250kgs,the versys is just not worth the money and put a topbox on and it gets a nasty weave at 90mph plus,this lot costs me a shedload of money and my current tracer is far better than the lot of them all it needs is ohlins suspension,which i am currently getting fitted,iv'e even had the latest tracer 9gt but gone back to this one. I test rode the supercharged ninja 1000 £27,000 english pounds and the engine sounded like a bag of spanners,horrible thing brought it back to the dealer after 20 mins,screen way too low,bars too low and sounds horrible.
  5. The suzuki GX is once again like the GT and yamaha mt10 and new tracer,reliant on these tiny piss poor excuses for headlights,as already said don't need any of the adaptive cruise control,imu etc,Just some GOOD HEADLIGHTS so i can actually go out in the dark and a centre stand,so once i get my suspension i will have no reason to change.
  6. First thing i did before i put the bike in my garage for the 1st time after riding 250 miles home from picking it up was to take that thing off,it's a shame most of you are overseas as you could have mine F O C.[Nearly as bad as them things over the back wheel,ie bmw gs]
  7. The newer model was ok,but could not live with that "matchbox" they laughing call a "headlight" downright dangerous on the small backroads i ride in the dark,it is too small and because of the shape goes left and right of you and not very far ahead,other things i found were the very light front wheel made me feel like the bike was never really "planted" on the road when cranked over,the screen bracket is not strong enough to accept the size screen it has,and of course the ridiculously small clocks that i could not read the small numbers,i am also getting more mpg on the older model strangely as the newer model was already very good.
  8. After having the 21 model tracer,have now "gone back" to the previous model.
  9. My 2020 is a lot better looking and it actually has a headlight,the one on the new model is atrocious and dangerous,i hated the clocks,the screen and the "headlight" and that model can only take 190kgs total weight which is only 10 more than mine so once i get the suspension sorted [it's fine for me,but we are 2up a lot] i believe it will be the better bike [for me anyway]
  10. I have gone the other way,i had a 2017 tracer,then a new tracer 9GT in 2021,i now have a 2020 tracer 900 GT.
  11. rlambke19,the bracket attaches to the 2 top rad mounting points that are accessible after you have taken the 2 side fairings off [easy 1 bolt,3 quick rivets].each side,if you end up with my spotlights i will explain in detail,thanks.
  12. Hi,Do you know anybody over the border because i can post it there for under a tenner [£10 uk] i know several people that i could post it to in northern ireland as i am over there every year,and i am over in sligo in may.
  13. Sold my bike now and have the foglights/mounting bracket and comfort seat for sale,it's a shame that most owners on here are NOT in the UK.
  14. I have FOR SALE [in the U.K.] 1] Genuine Yamaha spotlights/foglights with mounting bar and all wiring [only on the bike for 2 weeks,so as new] £275+£6 post. SOLD. 2]Genuine Yamaha riders comfort seat £100+£6 post. 3]Above the clocks sat nav mount £30 posted.
  15. I cannot understand why the GS is so popular,when personally i think it's got the WORST engine ever made and i can't understand why i am in the minority,we are all different and thank god for it.
