Jeez! Can't get ours any lower than about 20" because of the height of the prop. Suprised you could see over the bars!

Mother in Law visiting and has stopped play this week, will try to get some more work done soon. Now have all the pipe and have changed fork size to 48mm as that's the size of the CDS tubing that I found this means that the yokes need to be machined to accept the 48mm tubing.

The Chap doing the work is Kev who works at our place and just happens to have a Milling machine at home lucky him.

Not had much time or room to do much to the forks but yesterday I did manage to put the tubes together ready to go on the jig.
