Modern forks - Tim Shutters writeup
« on: June 04, 2009, 07:54:33 pm »
Alot of people who are interested in doing modern fork conversion have no doubt seen at least once the '78 cb750f by tim shutters.  Among other things, he swapped in a complete front end from a early '90's cbr900rr.  No one ever seems to find information, but I stumbled across this writeup.  Hope it helps someone.

I would look at both kinks too.  They are a bit different.

I like the website name. Remember if it has either of those, it'll give you trouble.
No matter how fast or how far I rode, I couldn't leave her memory behind.
