I had a wee trip down to the Biggar rally (custom cars, bikes and trucks) last Sunday. It was a great day out and good meeting up with some of the guys from the riders club.
I got talking about the mods I'm planning to the front end and got so stirred up about it as soon as I got back, I ordered the bits I need.
At least, I ordered the yokes. I had to work out which year to go for and in the end decided that the ones with the 25mm spindle were probably the best bet. That's the latest change HD have made to the 49mm forks.
As the wheel I've got is a 3/4" and would need modification no matter which spindle came with the yokes, I thought it would be better getting the most modern.
So next I ordered a pair of 25mm bearings and axle spacer. I'm going to try to fit the bearings myself. I have done it before on a Jap bike so hopefully I'll manage without spending an absolute fortune on the HD tool.
Once everything is here it will be a matter of trying it all out then seeing if I need to get anything fabricated.
Will probably be too much to asked that it all goes together out of the box, but we'll see.
