adaption of better brakes, modern wheels which can run radials, better forks which in terms of sport riding don't suck.  Luckily i live in the flattest part of canada with no corners so fork upgrades are not needed at all here....now for my Ducati 999...thats real unfortunate to live here...it just begs to be ridden on a killer track or curvy roads.

It's easier than adapting modern brakes and modern wheels to vintage forks(which has also been done) but why reinvent the wheel when the engineering has already been done.
