You asking me there northy?

If so, yeah i did (well after my first c0ck up of dropping the forks on someones advice!), then just slotted the complete front end in. Piece of pi55 apart from the slightly bent mounting hole on the rad. Once I've sorted that out with a big rubber mallet the bottom yoke shouldn't catch on the lower fairing!

Had a bit of an issue with the brake lines not quite being long enough with the TL1000S clip ons but i managed to manipulate them to fit! Also had a bit of a problem getting the clutch lever on far enough to mount the switch gear but nothing a bench grinder didn't sort out for me!

Just gotta wait nother 7 days now until my next day off to try and finish the job!
