OK Chaps, that is all good to know and I will get all the parts made. Expect that to take at least a month or two. It will depend mostly on when the CNC guys can fit it in. I will list the cost of the various bits below.
1) The new steering head, assembled, plus stainless steel shim washers to allow fitting the bottom link to the new steering head £340.
2) Supplying four sealed ball races to fit into a machined lower link £16
3) Getting a lower link machined so that the rear eyes take the ball races, fitting the ball races and adjusting and fitting the lower link to the new steering head £100. That includes the four ball races.
4)Two new springs either 30, 33, 36 or 45 lbs/inch depending upon rider weight £30
5) AVO damper to fit the new system £168 (unless their prices change)
6) Hydraulic steering damper kit, designed to fit the new steering heads £125
7) If anyone wants I will supply a new coil over AVO rear damper with the kit. They are just over £200.
You can buy as much or as little of the kit as you wish. If you have the skills to machine the lower link yourselves I can just supply the bearings. I charge the same as AVO for their dampers so you can either buy direct from them or let me get them and supply them with the kit.
Things to note; if you do not want to send your existing lower link then you can arrange for the Spares Company to send me one and I will get that modified. If you do, that note that they are supplied with an ‘as cast’ finish and cost about £360. They need to be painted. I can do that if ‘rattle can’ paint will suffice. Alternatively, I have to pay someone to spray two-pot polyurethane paint. If you do supply a new lower link then note that you also need two FF6 bushes to fit to the front holes as they are used in the jig which is used to ensure that the two rear holes are in line.
If you are going to fit taper roller head races then I need to know as the steering stem has to be made to fit those.
I supply either WORD file or PDF instructions for fitting both the steering head kit and the hydraulic steering damper kit. If you send me your email addresses then I can send those quickly.
