--- Quote from: Bryanj on August 25, 2013, 08:40:06 AM ---In that case you will need the slider from a 550 or a PAIR of forks from a 550 (internals vary so fitting just one complete fork is not advisable) plus if you look at the other thread on twin discs I linked a word document with a How To.

Thanks Bryanj,  I downloaded your instructions,and am sourcing parts,are 550 fork tubes the same Diameter as the 500,and will they
fit my original yokes?can I just swap the 550 sliders onto my forklegs and internals?
thanks for your help,

all of you

back to feebay to explore more ;D

Bryanj:
You can fit either complete forks as a pair or just the sliders if your tubes are good, I think going back 30 year i only fitted the one slider but memories can be wrong
