If the clamp at the bottom of the right leg decides to break off, I might look into fitting some inline forks. The steering stem, part number 801275, appears to be fitted across the EFI model range; any differences in parts numbers seem to be for different colour options. The inline forks should quicken the steering. However, from what I've managed to glean from various sources, the suspension travel on the inline forks is 110 mm, compared to 130 mm on the leading axle forks. For an off-road application, I'll want as much travel as I can get.
That seems like a good idea from what you've described. I might look at progressive springs when the Electra is mobile again; I'm currently making brackets for trials footrests and fabricating a gear change to suit.stinkwheel wrote:Long story short, I'd stick with the forks and internals you have.
