Howdo!!!
How's it going Engakats? Just been to look at the inside of the forks! F$%king hell I don't know how somebody could have done that and tried to sell them on. The top adjuster has 3 pins on the inside these were missing or bent and loctited in position,some of the unit is completely missing - best till last the spring is liquid metal/loctited to the inner spacer/sleeve!!!!!! Will stick some pics up. The forks are useless - its cheaper to get another set. Only problem being the other forks are wider, so spoke to Promach who can knock up a new top yoke.........more delay.......more expense........
Bidding on a new set of forks on flea bay (showas from a 848 - nearly went for a shiny set of ohlins R&T forks they are Very Shiny!)
Well dig deep not long now! This bike will get finished!!!

Cheers Pablo.....and I will need a new set of handle bars....bum!
