Will be keeping my options open and will be using 341 forks from a 550K1. Have started a twin disc conversion before but, never completed it so, have a few disc's and calipers to use.

I hope to get some guides on what sort of old corroded tat can be brought back to life, what needs binning, and what can be done to reuse rather than just replace. Not corner cutting...coz I don;t see Trigger as the corner cutting type. But some solid tips and ideas :)
I am kind of hoping when mine is done that it will retain a bit of it's patina or character, and that's important to me. But my 3K budget is starting to look genrous ;)

Most of the parts that are using, came to me as scrap. The frame had sat outside for many years and had to be blasted first to assess if it could be used. It had a few holes and a few very thin nearly rusted through metal but, a few hours of fabrication made it safe to use.
