[QUOTE="Succubus, post: 950130, member: 59612"] If I swap the forks I also have to swap the front brake backing plate. I have a set of '74 forks, but the notch on the fork that fits into the brake backing plate is much larger on the later forks and does mesh with the backing plate. I got the '74 forks thinking I could swap out the tubes only, but then I found the spacer at the bottom of the older tubes. Also, the plunger at the bottom of the inner tubes on the later forks is much larger than the earlier model and takes a much larger retaining bolt at the bottom, I don't have the clearance in the bottom of the old fork legs to fit the larger screw through. For now I am just using the old tubes, rust and all. I figure my new old seals will last about six hills. I would like to see a picture of the '73 forks to see if they are more like the '69 models or the '74 model. Email is to [email]patshaugh@hotmail.com[/email]. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
