Most of it unsprung
Gained soft, compliant and quiet suspension, has 5.5 inches of travel
And Grimeca calipers, Brembo floaters, it stops
Only bolted it up today but first test over one of my local corrugated dirt roads that got clunks out of the original forks no matter what I tried, some good hairpins to bed brakes in and a short motorway blast.
Used all but an inch, it’s pretty close at first go, harder tests to follow
Je suis content (content means so much more in French)
Shame to lose some pretty bits but the price of looking good was too much for me. Bits stay ready for restorer one day,
Was very easy, same task to fit late cali or even modern V7 Marzocchis, I used original V700 steering stem, only needed to fab a bush top and bottom to fit Nevada yokes , some preload washers and a knock off Borrani rim ,rest is oe Guzzi (bars, switches and speedo were fitted prior)
Crucify at will, I can take it
