Very nice, good to see. A lot of time and effort, how long did it take you ?
Why change to the Betor forks, personally quite like the Marzochi's.
Any parts left over ?
Where did you get the chain guard, had to make one for mine.

Hi Ross
On and off it 's taken about a year, I have the Marzochi's all refurbed sat in my shed, I could'n't resist the Betor Forks brand new from Martin M
I still have the Marzochi yokes, I am told they are better handling than the betor yokes
Had to make the chain guard, its amazing how many parts you end up with once you start

Very nicely rebuilt, good bikes the SWM.
if at first you have a five, try try & try again, then go home with a big score.

Great machine well done - would the betor triple clamps kick the rake out a bit? I have what I believe to be mar. Different triple clamps on mine and the bar clamp appears further forward.

The Marzocchi might give a more "modern " position !
