[QUOTE="kerry, post: 137162, member: 3981"] Are they the same on a D, I have fitted an Avo on the rear but fitted a Avo front one on a D last year but had problems. Hello Peter, Many thanks, this really helps, we fitted an Avo on the front and rear on a D 18 months ago the rear was not reamed the correct size the front touched on the fork top as you say due to having longer eye bolts which we also had to re-machine. This month I fitted a rear to another D and I mention the reaming to them on ordering but it was supplied correct and fitted fine in just a few minutes, It looks like this D has the shorter eye bolts already so I will order an Avo for the front, I do feel it is a better ride on D's and better bikes all round in my opinion, the only thing that spoils them is the ugly seat, I have seen a picture of one made to look better like the C and I hope to see if I can get one made. All the best for 2021 riding. Kerry. [/QUOTE]
