G'day all,
I am presently in the process of rebuilding my old SP/NT, she is getting the cafe treatment, i have the front guard of another model that will be getting cut down and fitted. I thought it was from a V1000 but the tube brackets are different. It will bolt up perfectly to the SP fork tubes if i swap the forks from left to right after i have rebuilt them and the calipers. Question is has anyone heard of any issued doing this as the caliper will be on the front side of the fork as against behind as per stock. I know this is done with other models, but they ran different tubes, which were possibly stronger in the caliper mount area.
the pictured guard is the one i want to use
just before stripping it down completely after sorting out basic styling,
Cheers
Craig
