Well,...I finally got my 95 inverted fork front end on the 87 K5,and my straight rear fender,and updated number plate. Now,...if my front brake caliper would show up,...I can get out and test the new front end. It HAS to be better than the stockers!! :mrgreen:

Nice 87!
I would never have guessed unless I saw the VIN or Engine ID.
Good job.
Can't wait to hear the ride report.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

FINALLY got my brake caliper in today,and was able to take her for a spin.It is amazing the difference that the fork swap has made in the ride/handling....its like a completely different bike,handling wise.And I swear,...everytime I get on this thing,it amazes me at just how much torque this bike has,..especially since changing the pipe to a FMF "Burly" pipe.Now,...if I can just get 4th gear to work right,i'll be happy......im ready to stretch this thing OUT!!
