Yea, you could buy the gold-lines from him.  Then you could buy the CRG levers that are currently on my SC.  ;)

BTW, what are you doing with the forks that are coming off of the 750? I may know of a home for them.

They have a minor issue with the sliders tearing up fork seals.  I have another set as well, though.  They have a ding by where the top triple clamp would be.  I figure, worst case, I can probably make the two into one good set? I hope?

Wally's sliders keep tearing up his fork seals so I guess he wouldn't be any further ahead with yours.  I did my part, I asked.

Are the sliders different diameter between the 50mm and 53mm?

#50
IIRC, they're both 43mm.

and if I ever get off my tubby ass, I'll have some non-leaky 620 forks to unload soon. bigger axle, though, so he might be SOL


:edit: don't both your fork sets have the newer caliper spacing?  it's be the same boat as mine then... and mac's bud has a carby 900 as well, so... unless he's looking to upgrade

MadDuck

Oooops! You are so right. I forgot about that minor little thing called axle size. Duh? Actually, I think Wally would be OK rebuilding his forks again if he'd buy the good seals from Ducati and not go for some cheap who-knows-from-where seals on Ebay. But, hey, aside from some snide remarks here and there I just help turn the wrenches.  [laugh]

I am willing to talk gold-lines and CRGs.  Talk being the operative word here.  ;D

Neither is a necessity as far as I know at this time, so it's purely a pretty factor.  And I like my bikes like I like my men... pretty.  Dirty and pretty.

ah. makes sense.

besides, if the coffins fit, MCs can wait until you get the correct front caliper for your 2-disc job  ;)


< evil voice >
of course, it makes sense to take apart the whole front end... once...

crap. damn that safety check thing. oh well.
