The original Dunlop Qualifiers fitted to the B-King are not the same as some of the aftermarket Dunlop Qualiers. They look the same, size, pattern and name, but... The tyres on my bike were "Made in Japan", after market were "Made in USA". One was 3 ply, one was 4 ply, the aftermarket USA tyre had noticably better grip / maybe softer compound.

What Biker sayings do like or know ?
Tony nitrous replied to Davehutch-hutchs's topic in The Pub "Tinker and Budget"
You dont stop riding because you get old, You get old because you stop riding. What do you call a biker in a suit ? The accused ! Sign in a bike shop window.. "Stop existing, start living" Whatever I die from, It won't be boredom ! Harley Davidson. How to turn petrol into noise, without the side effect of horsepower. Im nor racist, I'll race ANYONE. ...and then it went... Earth, Sky, Earth, Sky, Ambulance ! Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul. How do you go dragracing with a small budget ? Start with a large budget ! -
whats the best bike you've ever owned

My Kat holds the record at 12 years as the longest i've kept any bike. Dont think there was anything by the end that I hadnt chopped, changed, broken or taken to bit's ! I bought myself a 1980 ET to replace it, but i'll still have another Kat one day. (needs to be a SD, black motor, alloy pegs, GSXR slabbie style wheel model) -

I've worked long and hard for the last 30 years, always wanted a "bike only" shed, no kids push bikes, lawn mowers or the usual junk that fill's it up. Im also looking into breaking a few bikes up for spares / parts. Ebay cheapies, damaged auction bikes etc etc, but ONLY 4 cylinder 1000cc+ Suzuki's. I have a 2nd bike bench on order to match the current one. Cheap chinese crap but I've used or had a bike sat up on it everyday for the last 2 years and it works well.

Some useless info for you Dave. The HUGE exhausts you can see out the back arent! They are fakes/plastic covers. The real "can" is an ugly box under the pillion seat. Changing the pipes doesnt find many pony's. I've beat 2 B-Kings in dyno shoot outs with my stock exhaust (but they looked a zillion times better!) One of them had an identical A/F ratio to mine with no re-mapping so the bike seems to compensate well to having its can's changed. Can's look good, but the front pipes arent great and there's an "EXUP" type power valve and a cat-converter too, so if your after more pony's an aftermarket Busa front section is an idea. The long rear guard has a VERY heavy subframe under it. A tail tidy saves a lot of weight. No need for a powercommander on a new Busa or B-King. The stock ECU can be flashed/re-mapped and you can also do lots of tricks like like turning the TRE on/off etc (BK's are restricted to 155mph, lower than Busa's GSXR's etc) with the stock ECU if you have the software and know how.
