It's not really noticeable to be honest Chris, I have switched from 70's to 60's several times. I prefer the 60's with Avon's, but the front end is dropped and the rear is raised on my Curvy S.

Well it's coming together


Building up the underside of the top yoke with fibreglass so I can tap a thread to mount the clocks to.

Sprayed the mudguard, looks pretty good satin black IMO

Fitted SC1 front, right barsteward to fit. way harder than avons

New fork oil, headlight clamps etc...

Speedo sensor is fitted-ish (bodge-tastic )

It's worth it just for the better looking mudguard YC

Looking forward to seeing this next weekend. Is anyone coming with a USD converted Sv?

Nah, invested too much in the standard front YC, but be interesting to see which looks best and how much better they are. Mind you, at this rate we'll be changing wheels to skis.

Just Rachtech springs and emulators plus 20w oil. But we'd have to get the wheels(s) powdercoated purple too. And we've got the nice top yoke too.

Have to wait until AR08 then Phil to see your creation.
