Re: Project 2
You need to make sure that they use the same IIRC 41mm fork diameter otherwise you will have problems clamping the forks in. It will be a good move if it fits.

Re: Project 2
Argh I missed that one, good find. I just checked and it looks like the Deuville does indeed have the same OM Storm fork diameter of 41mm.

Looks like the earlier model are 42mm as well.

And here's a top yolk

The only other issue you may have is the steering stem, hopefully that will fit straight through and then offcourse the fitting of the ignition barrel.

Re: Project 2
To update this thread it has been confirmed that the deuville yoke does not fit so not a straight swap. The stem hole is 10mm too far forward and does not line up.
