[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 137164, member: 302"] The Avo front damper should be installed using short eyebolts, not long, it is not clear to me what you had to re-machine, short eyebolts are available from most Vincent spare parts suppliers, if you specify the damper without a top shroud it should not foul any of the fork components. I think the D seat was more than just a design exercise, I think it also created a bit more space for the increased suspension travel, having said that you might be able to successfully craft a B-C seat to fit somehow, but I think you will have to sacrifice something along the way, maybe increased seat height or drastically reduced squab/foam depth and therefore comfort. Good Luck Peter [/QUOTE]
