Fork Swap

[yamimoto]

Would like to again express my gratitude to this forum and it's members. Recently installed a 35mm front end on my '75, not sure what year but it has the adjustable preload screws. Also installed the Race Tech Gold Emulators, All Balls taper bearings, a new Brembo master cylinder, stainless steel braided line, rebuilt my caliper, installed Vesrah pads and drilled my rotor. Also, some of the parts I used were purchased from forum members. It's possible, maybe I could have done all this without the forum......maybe......but in all likelyhood I would have had to do much of it twice at least to get it right, and probably wrecked some things. I would not have known the helpful tips for specific jobs and certainly would have felt lost a great deal of the time. Not to mention how much longer it would have taken. This was not the case. I felt confident most of the time, took my time and everything went really, really well. In total it took about 8 - 10 hours and I didn't wreck or have to redo anything. Next time it will take about 5 hours. I can't tell you how much better the bike handles and stops.
Thank you all, it would have been a much different story without your help.
This is a great forum with lots of great people.

That is spot on! I have had my bike two years now( I KNOW!!!) and the first year it just sat in my shed in boxes, the way I bought it, too afraid to attempt anything on it!

I then found this forum, and it gave me courage to have a go! Thanks to a lot of stupid questions already being asked before, a LOT of reading, researching and more reading, friendly advice, encouragement, and a lot of help from forum members, I am almost at the end of my build!

I love this community, always someone here to help if you need it, and lots of encouragement if you feel a bit low and don't want to build anymore!

Forums are a great way for someone to stand on the shoulders of giants and take much bigger strides toward a goal than they might be able to alone.

Sounds like you've done some great work already!
