[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 10753, member: 485"] Hello to VirtualVincent, From Bill Thomas, And to Howard? W. From Curborough ? We had some good times. My Spec' started out as a standard C with 1970 Norton forks, I used Race Yokes and you can use any Norton brakes you like. I had to stiffen up the springs to keep the wheel away from the engine and use a slim mudguard. It gives it a lot of trail and slow steering is a little heavy, You will have to alter the lock stops. The standard frame has a sidecar fitting hole you can mount fairings off. I agree about the standard forks, I have had enough scares for all of us, I still ride a Comet and a twin with standard forks but I don't know why !!! Once my Lightning rep' threw me over the top and now I don't trust any bike !! not even my Spec' Which is super ! I am not good at useing the Forum but you can e mail me [EMAIL="billthomas@lightning.fsworld.co.uk"]billthomas@lightning.fsworld.co.uk[/EMAIL] Good luck bill. [/QUOTE]
