Link works fine for me with Edge.

Some of the updates on Duane's site are as recent as Sept 23 so I can't imagine he would still be putting the effort in if there were no plans to have someone continue hosting it.

It does look tidy and I think you got it at a very good price.

Artificial Intelligence. Well the Artificial bit is true enough but not the Intelligence. All that Google AI seems to do is search the web for texts on the chosen topic and string them together. If you search again on some of the text strings you'll find the original article which it copied. It's re...

Every time I search for anything on google the first return is AI generated and it's nearly always wrong in someway, regardless of the topic. If this is what AI is going to do for us then it's going to cause all sorts of problems if people believe it as gospel.

The question is are the 36mm R65 stanchions with 28mm inside diameter the same as the type 247 forks ? See R65 data from BMW below. Another issue is I recall reading that after market piston rings were problematic being a little too big resulting in excessive stiction so be careful about replacing o...

Have a look at the parts list section 31 and diagram #31_0362 item 2 which is the fork seal and there does seem to be what they list as a spacer ring.
