[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 146827, member: 456"] OK Peter and Tim. All useful info. Vincent's photo (posting#4) and Tim's above are very useful so I now can see that there is no lower link. The solution that Tim has looks like it could be fabricated easily enough and not offend those who prefer to see pieces left unmolested. However, I thought that I had read that AVO were not prepared to be involved but I have not been keeping a watch on this subject. I have just been out to my shed and measured the diameter of one of the rear coil overs from AVO (one of five to go out with the new batch of JE stems) and the diameter is about 68mm. Even if a reduced gauge of wire could be used at the front then that diameter would not reduce by much and I doubt that there is space inside the top of the forks to take something that diameter. So someone has to source a suspension unit before much progress could be made. Is there something off a scooter or small bike which might be suitable? [/QUOTE]
