Sorry guys......

I am a single guy....




Fred

No worries brother!  Mostly just kidding --  but I have "traded" and "sold" a lot of parts to pay for mods over the years ...

Kudos for an excellent job documenting all your mods!

The small decals for the top yoke came today. Anothe fine job by Jeff Shaw in Australia.

Nice!  Attention to details like that really make a difference. 



However, before the next rally I'd suggest fitting some kind of a cover for you fork extensions -- I can only imagine how big a pain it would be to get a quarter out of there if a mischievous soul dropped one in there!

Getting a coin out is easy, just a puff of air from the compressor and out she flies. But the round cavity might work as an ashtray...

I found some caps that plugged the holes perfectly. These are steel and are used to plug holes in electrical enclosures on machinery. I bead blasted the shiny plating off and sprayed the with clear paint.

Fred, I've a pair of RPM logoed caps from a riser kit if you can have for postage.

Thank you for the offer Noel, I have a set of spare riser caps that I thought of using. They are just a bit too large in diameter. The steel caps that I am using have about a dozen tangs around the cap that add pressure to secure them in place.

Hey Fred I just got a PM asking about the fork extensions. So I called the machinist. And he said he thinks he still has the program to make them. He's going to let me know. I'll post here as soon as he gets back to me.

Good deal Dan

I suspect with Fred's excellent documentation, folks will asking for more of these.

I'm glad Fred did This I'm no good at posting and taking pictures. I like figuring stuff out. And I want to share it. But it's always fragmented. Because I always have too many going at once. Never seem to finish one because I start 3 others while I'm still working on the 5 I already have going.

Machinist said he didn't have the program for them anymore​. But said he can redo it. And he can make more of the fork extensions. Will let me know about the cost as soon as he can. He is going to stop over Thursday night to take measurements off my bike.
