Re: [ST] front forks

[Mark Collett <yzf1k@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure the Daytona forks will fit ... IF you replace the triple clamps
and essentially bolt on a Daytona front end to the bike.  I sure wish I
had a machine shop at my disposal.  I've got the ability to model bike
parts and make toolpaths for them, but nowhere to cut them! At least not
without getting fired...
