Suspension scares me .. the thought of taking forks apart makes me positively poo my pants :lol:

I first started pulling forks apart in 1980 to convert my 400/4 to a twin disc front end with better calipers, so i used the lowers from an XS250

one bike I wish i still had

Be nice if someone hadn't already botched the 996 internals

The cap looks ok .... might make a nice paperweight

Caps no good for a DD bike as its to big

Forks are now all assembled, just need to add oil, set the appropriate air gap and see how the after market seals hold out

Not a lot of Progress of late

Just modified the 748 tank, fitted the pump and plumbed in the fuel connections.
Also did a bit of prep ready for the lock wiring

Hopefully tomorrow Dallas will weld on a couple more brackets for me so I can make a battery mount and then I can crack on with the electrics

Photos may be of use to Roxy

Here's a clue

Yes Chaz did my forks and I've had no real issues with them ( sensible money for the work too) it gave me the adjustabilty I was after. Serviced them this year and changed to a slighly heavier fork oil which I prefer - 5w to 7.5w. A job worth doing.
