Ewan 500 K1:
so, its hard to sort out the wheat from the chaff.  The merchants of doom have been proved right in opinions that riasing the rear end by 46mm would give me the front end wobbly at high speeds. Anyone know anyone who could engineer me a new front yoke set ..... reduced offset to 35mm and extended steering stop, but otherwise same as 500 one including top yoke steering stem  hole being higher by standard amount than the fork tube holes. Been saving for a bit.................

High speeds ewan?
Why would you want to go faster than 70mph on these old yocks?

Ewan, it would be much easier to just get some new rear shocks. I have looked at the maths on this and had a few off line chats with Norniron. You have the rear end too high.

aye you could be right trig, but felt I needed the rear end clearance cue to electrics tray, current shocks give 3 inch clearance betwee tyre and electric tray ... about same as original
