front end trouble
Posted: Wed May 25, 2011 11:32 am
bought a cheap vtr that had a light spill now find that the front end is slightly out of line is there anything i can do to check it all bar buying a new scrap front end???
99% the bottom yoke will be twisted as they are made of biscuit.... theres load on ebay though.
i got mine for a tenner - after a relatively light ding the yoke was a good 3mm out.
also check the yoke stops on the frame... if they are deformed at all you can dress them back up with a dremel and make up the difference with weld on the steel yoke stops on the bottom yoke.
you need to make sure there is no trap zone between the bars & tank as it could fail mot for that if the examiner is thorough.
alternatively you could fit a front end off a gixer or 954 blade with usd forks and better brakes.
