Yes Dave,
As I said "I've looked at it from both sides of the coin"....
I'm no stranger to the 'Bling' factor myself.
A lot of the kit out there is absolutly Fan....Blo*dy...Tastic!!!!!
I'd probably sell one of my offspring for a set of those forks you posted, but I've been riding for a long time now and know that putting the 'Best Kit' on my bikes won't make me a better rider.......
My point was Hugh should make the best of what he's got, before he looks for more.
Also his 955sp(a) is a 'True' classic Desmoquatro and really doesn't need ******* about with IMHO.
He has modern Dukes to bling up to his hearts content.......
Looking for performance gains before you've found the limits of your ability is a recipe for disaster.
Sugar coating now being thrown away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're are very few 2nd chances, there's no after life and no reincarnation.
Don't try to run before you can walk, no matter how big your budget is.
There's no substitute for getting lots of miles under your belt......
CHOOSE LIFE!

Steve

P.S. I ride an MZ on a daily basis Dave, I'd never lower myself to a CG125 it would never cover the miles I do.
