Re: [ST] 43mm Fork Question

["Jim HIGGINS" <buellrydr1@xxxxxxx>]

Gavin,if you are going to do a fork swap with all it entails--swapping 
wheels,brakes,and all--why not go all the way and put some nice upside down 
forks on there.They can be had for good deals on eBay, etc. It is only a bit 
more work at that point. Have a machinist make a steering stem that fits the 
Triumph neck and your good to go. I have done the complete front swap on a 
couple of bikes that way. Have a GSXR front end on my FJ 600 turbo bike,was 
not that hard.Got the better forks and brakes all at once.Jim.
