Upgrading a 1977 Sportys forks ?
My lad has just bought a 77 XLCH in pretty standard nick,the down side is its been standing a few years and the forks are pitted.

Will the later 39mm forks and yolks(Triple Trees) off an FXRT bolt straight onto the Sporty headstock ?

Are FXRT stanchions longer than the standard FXRs ?

Cheers

Chill
