I sort of figured it's the fender mount, I'm going to trim it a bit to make it work. Thanks for the info on the forks though!

So I took this new to me old trials bike out for a ride today with a friend. I noticed that the front end was almost bottoming out if I came off a ledge hard or what have you.. To the point where my fender would get stuck on the header and cause of some fun steering. I know the fender mount is a little mangled and isn't helping but is it typical to have the front end that soft? I also noticed on the adjusters at the top of the shocks there is a C on the left and E on the right. What do these represent?

Hey guys, Looking to replace the stock bars on my 1996 JTR-370.. Any recommendations, prefer to fat bar style but which ones work with all the stock controls?

New to trials bikes, been riding enduro, dirt and street bike since before I could walk... I have a 1996 Gas Gas JTR-370 that I picked up from the local gas gas dealer as a cheap intro to them, I love it so far and can see how people get addicted to the sport! My question is, the bike has had a bit of a flogging for sure in it's past life and I don't totally intend to change that, but I do like to keep things working smoothly. The front brake seems to drag a bit I check that the lever isn't over adjusted or something simple and it's fine. I'm thinking the caliper is sticking a bit or is seized. Is there anything silly I'm missing here or is it pretty common? I took it out for a good little ride for a newbie yesterday and other then a growly gear box it seems ok, Ran some trails that I would have never attempted on the enduro bikes and had a blast. Hopefully it continues to get me hooked and I'll upgrade to something a little more modern next year!
