Hi, new member here. Apologies if I've broken protocol by asking a question as my first post, or if I've posted in the wrong section.
I've got a 05 900 and am in need of the bottom bit of the left hand front forkleg - same side as the gear pedal (don't know why I want to put front!?). TDM forks seem like rocking horse s**t in Huddersfield, BUT there might be some fazer 600 forks which they say will fit. Does anyone know if they do fit and is it just a straight swap?
Thanks for listening.
Boring bit (about me)
On my second tdm, first was an 850 seven years ago. When that died, had Vstrom 1000 for a couple of years, which was great at eating the miles up on wide roads. Got this one 2 years ago. I ride bikes all year round, apart from summer as one of my mates say, when something usually happens that entails it spending a little time in the garage. I don't usually modify bikes unless something falls off. Don't mind (mostly) putting petrol in and the occasional bit of oil but ..... I'm a tight yorkshire git.
My favourite run is Holmfirth-Holme Moss-Glossop-Snake Pass-Strines-Holmfirth. Takes 2 hrs ish I think - not right sure cos I usually stop 2 or 3 times to contemplate the world or enjoy the scenery. I also like the Whitby run once I've passed York.
Tried putting things on my profile but couldn't get to grips -will try again tomorrow!
Used to browse on here when I had my first tdm. One thing that surprises me is how few tdms I see. I've seen another blue one in a car park in Hudds but thats the only one I've seen in 2 years. Haven't been to any events but go to Whitby and Squires cafe every couple of months - see lotsa bikes but no tdms.
Thats all for today. one of my fingers is getting tired of pressing buttons.
happy riding
Dave
