Hopefully this doesn't break any rules but thought I'd post up my new baby, a forum!
An by feedback would be appreciated guys, hopefully youll like it, you never know,you may even want or own a super duke!
Cheers all
Mmm ...friend of mine had a Superduke R ....mental point and shoot bike .......hard saddle though eh
Nice one. Big V twins rock, I've got an Aprlilia Tuono 😀
This is my 3rd one. I've spent a chunk of time, money and effort getting this right... I have the Superduke R seat unit arriving this week to give me an uncomfortable ar5e 🙂

That is making me wet , Weeksy-its abit too much spicy for me though?
Thank you 🙂 it's been a labour of love i can tell you. The exhausts went on last week, along with the new Brembo RCS master cylinder, the larger fuel tank, powder coated swingarm and a full suspension refresh.
Had a minor brake issue yesterday with the wrong fluid, but that was resolved last night with a bleed of the brakes...
It's an amazing ride.
Mrs Weeksy has a 2005 Yamaha R1, i did 60 miles on it on Sat... i was VERY happy to get back home and onto the Superduke i can tell you 🙂
Any ideas then guys on how to get my forum higher up the Google/Yahoo etc food chain ??
http://superdukeforum.forumatic.com/index.php
I'm guessing eventually it will get there.. but it's still quite anonymous in the search engines world.
Looks fab. I really, really fancy one of those Duke 690s, me.
Thanks mate. I wasn't overly inspired by the Duke 3 690. Much preferring the 690SMC myself. However they're only good for 110mph which means on longer rideouts or fast trackdays etc you'r struggling. Once you get past 80mph they're starting to run out of steam compared to bigger bikes.
Not a problem if most of your riding is on your own... but when out with friends it can be slightly disheartening.
*wonders why Weeksy's brake fluid is clear yet mine is black. Time for some work on my SM 🙂
You don't know the half of it mate.
Recently i had the bike off with a mechanic, it was given to him with a long list of jobs. One of which was to fit a Brembo RCS master cylinder. Another was sorting the clutch.
Sadly... he thought it was a weird KTM thing and put Magura mineral oil in the brakes as well as the clutch. Thus rendering my brakes completely useless and contaminated. They're currently off the bike and being stripped and getting a new set of piston seals and possibly a new Brembo RCS master cylinder. The reason it's lovely and clear is because i bled the brakes as soon as i realised it was wrong in the hope flushing the mineral oil out would be enough.... sadly.. it was not.
The stuff you see in there currently is the Magura/Shimano fluid 🙂
weeksy - don't expect much from Google (or any search engine for that matter).
Your forum is on a subdomain (of forumatic.com), which is not Google-friendly at all.
if you're serious about appearing in Google, then do the following:
1. Buy a domain name - superdukeforum.com - or something.
2. Rent some webspace which has forum software available at the click of a button (United Hosting do, IIRC).
3. Submit your website to Google (there's a form), and start using it. The more content you have (*regular new content*) the higher you will be in the rankings.
1. Buy a domain name - superdukeforum.com - or something.
Indeed mate, i think that has to be on my plan for today.
Fair call...
I'm now the owner of
superdukeforum.com - 2 years
Will sort out the name resolution stuff for forum later.
I only recently discovered SuperDukes and bloody love the look of them. Sadly I can't ride (legally) so can only dream of having one. You need more galley pics.
Working on it mate... it's only been up for a week....
Not a motorbike rider (fan of the racing though) My feedback on that forum weeksy would be that there are way too many sub forums! It does stop people using sites eventually, as it becomes too hard for people to find stuff. Well done though on starting it hope-I hope that that didn't come across as rude BTW just some hopefully constructive feedback.
Didn't bsb have a superduke support series a few years back?
Not at all rude mate.
Yes they did for a couple of seasons. Some top riders in there and VERY very quick lap times considering they're not sportsbikes.
Removed/moved a couple of sections. 🙂
Is the rc8 in wsbk this year? That is the KTM superbike isn't it?
The RC8R is techincally the closest they have. That's the Race version of the standard RC8. However no i'm afraid it's not. They've either been uncompetitive in Superbike classes or not allowed at the time due to engine capacity rules.
There's plenty running in various Superbike classes, but none in WSB.
Ah right, lovely looking bikes, I saw an absolute beauty in Matlock last year.
Oh and that link four or five posts above just directs me to a php page
Confused, it should direct you to the forum ?
Well it might not at the moment as i'm in limbo land between DNS changes lol
Bump the thread in a bit as a reminder and I'm sure that someone will try again! Still isn't working atm though.
Yup it works. You need to change the domain within the forum software - still says superdukeforum.forumatic.com at the top
Do you mean on the top right next to the logo or in the address bar ?
I can't change the one to the right on the logo currently.
Yep, as above!
Ah right, can't do anything about that... it's just the URL that's important at the moment.
Ny Nexus7 is confused, my laptop is confused... my Server in Reading is happy, my server in Bangalore is happy... my one in London redirects back to my hosting company...
I think i need to show a bit of patience and leave everything alone for a few hours 🙂
Thanks for the attempts/info lads.
OK, i'm al working and happy again with the new forum name.
Thanks to all for the suggestions and ideas. Also for the testing of URLs etc. Much appreicated. The dynamic speed of the forum makes it easier than emailing a mate and waiting for replies etc.
what about duke 690 owners? i bought a broken one to harvest the engine, and i found another engine as well. the plan is to make a frame and go supermono racing again. truimph 675 running gear. getting a cr trans made, but i don't know much about engine tuning yet - who makes and sells camshafts, pistons etc off the shelf?
http://www.ktmforum.co.uk/search.php?searchid=523838
690 owners generally go there mate, although i do have a subsection on the forum.
But for techi info on engines for the 690, the KTMForum is the best place.
Be aware...they're not all sweetness and light... they're a brutal bunch in general 😉

Post it on his lovely new forum!
If its filling a gap in the market, it should grow. I got mine a domain name, splashed a few links around, and before I knew it, 'Iveco daily' on google brought me up number #3 or 4 in the listings (just after Iveco themselves and a couple of big dealers) and add the word forum gets me #1. Its two years old and has 7600 members.
All I would suggest is less subforums is more. Too many forums is a maintenance nightmare. Look at this place...four forums and its great.
No worries... thanks for the input 🙂
I've removed 2 of them today.... i can always shrink a little more.
Top job by my Photoshop guy on the new logo...
Just need to work out how to get rid of that silly text on the right !!
thanks to Xiphon.
🙂
Well i've now made it to 100 mmebers.
Have got a new Domain name and also had to increase my hosting package. Pretty happy with the way the new forum is going indeed.
