800ss help required
I have an 800ss which I bought as a cat C knowing full well what I might be getting into. The bike was/is in excellent condition but, it's obviously been in a front-ender as the front Marchesini has a ding in it and one fork leg was bent. However, I've noticed an indentation behind the headstock - it's regular in size and there is no corresponding bend or damage on the front of the headstock. Is this indentation normal? Has anyone else got an 800ss or a late 750ss/900ss that they can verify this against?
Also, as a quick and dirty check....can someone confirm the following dimension please?:
length from centre of front wheel spindle to end of the swinging arm in millimetres. Please measure with the bike on a paddock stand if possible.
TIA.
