i almost forgot. Larry, much thanks also.

Getting closer

Steering stop.

Best crank the ride height adjusters down to max if you're not going to run the forks flush with the top tree Joe.

Get a 1000 LTD 78 - 80 model, head light mount bracket. It will bolt right up to the top tree using those 2 6mm bolt holes. Clean, simple....

thanks Larry. i just pmed you about the stops. i was ganna grind the lower triple stops a lil to get more radius. lemme know. also, i am missing one of the steering nuts with the notches in it. (not sure of the name). anyway i believe i have the upper nut, and need to find a lower one. (anyone got a extra out there)? so once i get the nut, the triples will sit a lil closer to flush. but anyway, lemme know about the stops, thanks.

I gave up some turning radius. At first it seemed like a lot but after putting miles on the bike, I don't even notice it anymore. Only affects you when turning the bike around in the garage...

In situations like that, just lean it over to the left, rip the revs up to 7k and let the clutch fly.... she'll spin right around for ya.... :woohoo: .... KIDDING... don't really do that :laugh:

:laugh: why did i picture you doing that?...:laugh:

Your welcome Joe. I've turned dirt bikes around like that, but I've never tried it on a street bike :blink:

I think this thread as more PM's than posts :laugh:

Here's the schematic on the stem.

Oh hell, that didn't work too good.

Joe, the roller looks good. You have come a long way from where you started. Here's how I solved the steering stop issue on my bike:



It's just a piece of 1/8" plate welded to the bottom of the factory stop. I actually set mine to keep clip-ons off the tank if I decided to go that route. If you plan on running bars you can get away with more turning radius. You just need to keep the fork tubes off the tank. As Larry says, I lost some garage steering only. It makes no difference on the road. Your steering inputs are very small when the bike is rolling.
