Yea, you could buy the gold-lines from him.  Then you could buy the CRG levers that are currently on my SC.  Wink

BTW, what are you doing with the forks that are coming off of the 750? I may know of a home for them.

They have a minor issue with the sliders tearing up fork seals.  I have another set as well, though.  They have a ding by where the top triple clamp would be.  I figure, worst case, I can probably make the two into one good set? I hope?

Wally's sliders keep tearing up his fork seals so I guess he wouldn't be any further ahead with yours.  I did my part, I asked.

Are the sliders different diameter between the 50mm and 53mm?

IIRC, they're both 43mm.

and if I ever get off my tubby ass, I'll have some non-leaky 620 forks to unload soon. bigger axle, though, so he might be SOL


:edit: don't both your fork sets have the newer caliper spacing?  it's be the same boat as mine then... and mac's bud has a carby 900 as well, so... unless he's looking to upgrade

Oooops! You are so right. I forgot about that minor little thing called axle size. Duh? Actually, I think Wally would be OK rebuilding his forks again if he'd buy the good seals from Ducati and not go for some cheap who-knows-from-where seals on Ebay. But, hey, aside from some snide remarks here and there I just help turn the wrenches.  laughingdp

I am willing to talk gold-lines and CRGs.  Talk being the operative word here.  Grin

Neither is a necessity as far as I know at this time, so it's purely a pretty factor.  And I like my bikes like I like my men... pretty.  Dirty and pretty.

ah. makes sense.

besides, if the coffins fit, MCs can wait until you get the correct front caliper for your 2-disc job  Wink


< evil voice >
of course, it makes sense to take apart the whole front end... once...
