Hey Sarge, I was curious about changing over to a non air fork on my 81? I was taking apart my forks and it seemed to already have progressive springs?? Not sure if that was stock or an aftermarket upgrade by the previous owner, but the springs definitely have a progressively wound coil. If I swap over what can I do about my fork nuts? They are huge, bulky and limit me from installing my new master cylinder with drag bars.
I was thinking about swapping them out with a set from an older bike, but my forks are 37mm and I know most other cbs run 35mm. Or maybe get an old set and cut the hex head off and tig it on to my fork nut body? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
