[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 176503, member: 456"] Th kit that I provide does not require the end user to do any machining. It uses the existing cup and cone head races. I have continued to use the Greg Brillus mod of two ball races each side of the rear of the lower link as they are sealed for life bearings and do not require any further sealing to prevent water or dirt entry. It is true that fitting these does mean that opening up they rear eyes in the lower link to take a 32 mm ball races instead of the original one and a quarter inch Oilite bushes but we normally do this for people if they do not have access to local machining facilities. and do not want to send their lower links half way round the world with a risk of the item being lost somewhere. However, those who have been keeping up with things will be aware that I am currently getting new lower links made. Thirty of these with standard dimensions to take Oilite bushes will go to the Spares Company. The rest will be machined from new to take the ball races and be provided with the ball races fitted. In addition, for those who wish to use my design of hydraulic steering damper that can be supplied ready fitted to the new JE steering stems and the only modification to the bike is to tap out the five sixteenths hole that takes the anchor for the original friction damper to three eighths BSF to take a new stainless steel screwed in anchor pin. Thus for someone in Alyson's position they can fit the whole kit, JE steering geometry, Greg Brillus ball race mod, hydraulic steering damper and keep every original part, including the original cup and cone bearings, but they would have to buy the new lower link. Literally the only 'machining' is to tap out one hole from a plain 5/16"ths to 3/8 BSF. We are still going to have to find a replacement for the AVO suspension dampers. [/QUOTE]
