[QUOTE="kerry, post: 137168, member: 3981"] Attached is my bike which years ago the owner had on it a good looking seat ! I have never seen another on any D., I might first have a strap made up like Triumphs have just to break up the long flat image. On the last one we had to shorten the existing long eye bolts as the front of the damper jammed against the curved inner on the front of the top of the Girdraulic forks, this part also has to be filed to stop the damper touching it when on the stand or riding, I have seen others that had to be filed out too ! to sum up after reading time travellers really helpful advice I am now not sure what to do, this bike has a new modern better rear and needs similar on the front ! ironically this D already has shorter eye bolts the same as a C. ?
