How are your mods coming along? Done the forks yet?
nah, abandoned the forkin fork idea for now, turned out mine could be straightened. Will take too much work (and R's) to get the KTM triple clamp/steering stem to fit.

This part is not compatible with 2008 Suzuki DR650SE --. Will investigate a bit into this
