Aussie 1090/1190/1290 owners thread.

It might be all well and good for a light weight single cylinder bike but I would question the durability/longevity/reliability of steering head bearings and fork bushes with the front wheel dragging 300+ kilo's of bike and rider when the front end wasn't designed for this application.

Come on now, don't you realise this is a game changer....

Very interested
Especially going out to the Simpson by myself
Hopey

Might be interesting as you can switch it on and off at the bars , emergency only ?

That is not a cheap 'for emergency only' use :)

Handy setup, but for the cost I'd prefer to turn around and try again..

This turned up yesterday.
I had a few dings in the OEM wheel and it wouldn't hold air for more than a day or so dropping from 36 to 20 psi.
I didn't want to fit a tube so I went with a FaBa wheel from Hartl Racing in Germany.

Looks good Wodger, I ended up getting a 1.85 inch width rim from ashes wheels using my old hub . It was a huge improvement off road but I have a tube in it. What was the approx cost of the faba ?
Tip for anyone using a tube make sure you get rim locks on the tyre. these things have so much stopping power I tore the valve stem off the tube . lost air in a real hurry

@Toejamii depending on which way the AUD is swinging, around $1100.
A side note, I was going to pay with PayPal but it was an extra $100 over doing an international bank transfer.
Also after discussion here in another thread I was expecting to pay GST but I picked it up from the Post Office, drove away, no more to pay.

Gents saw motoz brand tubes in adv mag with offset valve spuds,can these be fitted and leave oem tubeless band on without any problems ?,thanks

This nice bit of kit arrived from the US today. After breaking the stock pedal I wasn't keen on spending $200 on a genuine cast alloy garbage replacement that I would probably bend/break again so went with the billet aluminium number from Clean Speed. Very nicely engineered.

Do you have a link @Briggsy_1 ?
I bent up my 1190 one back when I had it, wouldn't mind one for the 1090 before I do the same thing.

I got mine from Rocky Mountain as they had the best postage but you can buy direct from Clean Speed. Price takes your breath away when you convert it and you have to buy the foot pad separately

Lifetime warranty is a plus.

Not bad if you didn't have to pay $30 postage and possibly GST..and then still end up with something that will likely bend with the first bump

Well it looks the big girl is due for new disks.
Not cheap.
Anyone got a good vendor for Galfer or Braking?
Don't want cheap disks, just good ones at a cheap price.

^^^
You wouldn't try Metal Gear?

Tried them once years ago. Not again.
They may be better now though. Any experience?

Nah mate, only ever bought brake pads and sprockets.
Just had a look at their web site, no discs listed for the 1X90's.

how many kms to wear em out?
