 |
|
Have seen a few on Ebay and watching two, But not sure whether need whole front end or just a nacelle. Am thinking can modify to fit?
Any help appreciated on this as ATM I have a T140 Front end on a 66 frame

I'm not real sure Churchy but would think that the distance between where the top and bottom yokes clamp the fork legs would have to be the same regardless of the year model forks used. Width of the yokes to maybe accommodate a wider tyre is a different issue but a tape across the top fork nuts to measure the width of the yokes would be an easy way to compare. Not sure how the nacelle mounts, is it off the fork tubes or the yokes?
