  1. Bet they'd never know.
    There's plenty of meat there.

    Up to you of course...:)
     
  2. Both sizes are bored out of the same casting, so no detriment to open them out.
     
  3. ok guys,, I bow to your greater knowledge.:upyeah:
     
  4. ^ Werd...:cool:
     
  5. Scrutinners would know. They know their stuff.
     
  6. Simon, are you allowed to run ohlins? If so cant see it being an issue, as you'd have to change the bottom yoke anyway. If bike must remain as manufacturered and not fork mods allowed, then not, but that would give an S and advantage over Bip and cant see that being the case

  7. I've got to check the regs to be 100 per cent but I think modern classics have to run oem forks. So for me it's Maxton.
     
  8. May be worth asking the question, could be stanard forks from a model in the range at that time. Altho imho a fork fit would work better than std ohlins anyway

  9. I think the same. Maxton will re spring them for me, new shims, pistons, seals and Oil for less than the price of just the forks. And they would be a heap set that would need servicing.

  10. The op asked .
    Whats this got to do with race regs or scrutineers . Or am I missing something .
     
  11. Everything. It's alters the choices in some series.
     
  12. Where did he say he was racing it .
     
  13. He didn't. However, the thread has just found it way to this subject -
