Another issue I need to resolve: there's *just* not enough clutch throw. I am using an adjustable pushrod at the pedal end and it is at the limit of it's adjustment but the gears will still occasionally clash when engaging 1st or reverse. There doesn't appear to be air in the system. The whole setup is brand new apart from the gearbox. The clutch point seems very low, almost at the floor. I'm going to try an adjustable pushrod for the slave cylinder as it could be a bit too short to operate the fork fully - I should have more of a pedal than I do.
Hopefully not a bent fork :(.
Ah didn't think of that. It looked ok before it was fitted thoughQuote:

I guess I will just have to bite the bullet and get different springs?
EDIT: fucking tinypic. Anyone know of an image host that actually works?
Sounds like you just need L's not SL's.
Check out Kings website, I'm sure they have 2 stages of lowered front coils, ask how low each coil drops.
Pedders have a large 35mm bore short stroke shock for the fronts FYI.
Sorry about the lack of photo, here it is to give an idea

Use tapatalk. It's seriously the easiest way I've found to put pics on a forum.
yer that looks so un proportional - gotta fix that up.
I like having the sill line straight/level.
Otherwise she's looking good - I keep desiring an old skool beast - one day.
