Wow ! Thanks, Springs with that much ...

I do wish to use same wheel and brakes so 93-97 it is ! replace for these forks is quite useless as it shares the same crappy design of lower triples. You can achieve better result with just upgrading your current forks. That is certainly an option, but I should think the udf from a blade would be ...
