    Howdy Mark, We met a couple weeks ago at the Wimpy (Harties) before going up north through the channels, since you told me it made a big difference I am now doing the research. Shot for the "food for thought"  :thumleft: Cant argue with a guy who has done 6 x more KM than me on his KTM!

    KTM 990 front suspension work

    Thats quick! I did indeed qet a quote from Hilton but that was 6000 of my rands, which I consider on the steep side. I would like to get a comparison so I know it will be money well spend. I am in JHB so sadly CPT is not an option, I say sadly cause I want to come ride there!

    KTM 990 front suspension work

    Hi All, I am wanting to beef up my front forks on my 08 990. So far I haven`t had much luck to find people who do work with genuine KTM or superplush parts (besides KTM who charge a small fortune). Does anybody have some tips on where to go/who to call for this in the JHB area? Thanks!
