Will let you know! ...last time was 3 years back but ok  :lol:

[rybes]

well, tis time to get these 3 spokes fitted i think. they been sat here long enough now.
had a play with the top yoke yesterday and just managed to find enough clearnace usin swept back risers. its tight but theres clearance.







the risers im usin look like this





once i was happy with the fit of the top yoke i took a hacksaw and grinder to it to take off those lil sticky outy bits. it now looks like this



so thats stage one sorry if the pics are big but when they were small ya jus couldnt see em well enough to see the clearance. now i jus have to go to the powder coaters n drop it all off
 :D

So what are you doing with yer spoke rims Rybes, would be interested in em if ya wanted to shift em on.
Any chance of first refusal?

[rf9rider]

[rybes]

yes mate were both over here. had to come back to find a job for a little while. fingers crossed i may have found one for when i get back  

[rybes]

well, yesterday saw me goin to the powder coaters to go get me bits for me 3 spoke conversion  :D  ill take some pics later and post em up. might even have a play and put bits on to see how they look.

[rybes]

well heres a pic of me bits i got done
 

had the fork bottoms done in a black chrome finish. not to sure if ive made the right choice. didnt wanna do it the same colour as the ones on there as thats the same colour as the wheels n i thought itd look odd ?



spose i wont know till ive got it all fitted tgeva. the only other colour i could think of doin em was in the same wrinkled finish as the frame n swingarm but didnt fancy cleanin those.

[rf9rider]

Looking good mate.
Be interesting to see how the fork legs look in that colour all fitted together
