just fitted the upgrade, also took the opportunity to make up a fender extender, stops the rad from getting blocked with crud, not ridden the bike yet.

Looking good, I dropped my forks off last week with Teut.
A worthwhile investment, I was not aware that only one leg operates as a dampener

Hi , thanks for the input good to know others I have done similar things over the years with no adverse effects,
Hinckley Bonny to my Ducati gran canyon hybrid bastard bike I built 12 years ago and it’s still going strong.
Cheers

Hi Yes thanks for info, I have just fitted a shendigen mosfet one from a Ducati 1000 eBay job , what model number / bike spec was yours just so I know I have one that is ok, it gets quite warm like the old( electrex one) quickly, obviously alternator dumping lots of amps. I have also ordered over th...

Hi Yes I believe so, my old 900 ss and elefants all toasted the input connector block from the alternator, my Gp has been updated with a bigger 10mm spade connectors, no sign of resistance or burning. The rectifier was the worst I have seen in all my years, it was an electrex replacement, but it’s i...

Hi all, That maybe only be 12 of us in the Uk but it’s important to keep our GP s going. I have used mine occasionally through this last winter, which has been hard work , liberal use of ACF 50 and hosing off the Salt after every ride. A few weeks ago after a trip to see my granddaughter, I could sm...

Excellent, please report back on how it all goes.

I have used TW suspension in the past for nitron cartridges for my R9t , it’s a small very Speacilists company run by the very experienced and nice guy Teut Wiehn, I would give him a ring first before you buy the Adriani kit.
He is based in Preston .

Please let me know what difference the cartridges make, I have a set of cosaro fork bottoms with compression rebound adjustment , I was going to fit these these. I bought your bike in 2015 and rescued it as it had not been used much from new, it only had 6k on the clock, but had been used in the win...

My old bike , great to see it out and about.
I made the front mudguard supports which stop the mudguard fractures.
Best of luck

Hi Chris
Thanks for the update, let’s hope it’s not an over weight adventure bike, it would be good to keep the trellis frame with the motor, such a wonderful combination.
I am hopeful as it would be good to update my bike at some point in the future.

Has anyone ridden a desert X, its looks on paper to be similar weight as the Gp, I still think the GP is hard to beat and that includes the current new crop of adventure bikes, and thats quite a few. I did see somewhere that Morini are looking to reintroduce a new GP WITH THE VEE MOTOR. There Xcape ...

it’s now two years since I returned to GP ownership, still very reliable and fun, the new Desert x is close to it on paper, but not as well made , belt drive motor/ I had booked a test ride on one for today, but have had to cancel it. I have no plans to replace or sell the GP , just curious as I hav...

Great news, fantastic bike, I looked after it and it looks like the last owner has, big tip don’t sell it.

Hi
I agree these are really well engineered bikes, I doubt you would get issues with bore wear this side of 100k . It all depends on price, how many are out there etc
