Horse13, You need to settle down a little bit, no one here is getting crazy, there are a thousand tricks people use to fix things on these old bikes. In no way, shape, or form, am I looking to do this "half assed", and if I knew what I was doing, I certianly wouldnt be here seeking peoples council on this topic. Now, by the time I am done with this project I will&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;know more than most on this paticular front end set up, because I will have taken down and rebuilt at least 3 times, read service manuals from several generations/models, and endless online articles. You see this is what makes the smart people even smarter, they may not have the answer, but the have the ability to set their pride aside and go find the answer. You very well may just think your being helpfull, but this is not the first time i've seen you burst into a topic with your chest all bowed out. A lot of people are new to these bikes&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;the last thing they need is a smart-***, thats ready to show it.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Let me step off my box, and I will give everyone an update. I talked to the person who made the cups (billetwerkz) this is one stand up guy, I am sending him my oem cups, and the ones he made, he is going to do a measurement, and make a new set to the size of the old, and send them all back to me. I was able to call him on a sunday, and he was very willing to help me. If anyone reading this is concidering a front end swap, he is the guy to use for your&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;cups. Horse, im not wanting to start a pissing contest via the internet, so I hope we can leave all of this right here.
