[QUOTE="milohiscox, post: 176007, member: 4317"] [ATTACH type="full" width="454px"]60822[/ATTACH] Very interesting to rear through this old thread for the first time and see this photo. Makes sense to strengthen. I have just rebuilt the suspension on my Rapide. I made some new sleeves (F57) for the UFM which were a very close slide fit, but then I had to cold set the two halves of the split tube in the UFM shown above, as they were not in line with each other and the stud wouldn't go through. A long bar and some muscle was easy enough. I could understand that repeated bottoming out of the rear suspension would bend the centre of the UFM split tube forward, but the interesting thing was that on my bike was that they were bent the other way, with the middle of the split tube too far backwards, as if the bike had been stretched. Brazing distortion from the factory? Or would they have post-machined? [ATTACH type="full" alt="1696522304369.png"]60821[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
