There's a moral in here somewhere, I'm damned if I know what is it though .......
So .....
Once the excitement of trial fitting the wheels had eased off it was time to get serious.
First job, wet build the forks.
When the bike arrived with me the forks were through the yokes by 52mm to create the right ride height, naturally that wasn't going to be an acceptable look. So I stripped the forks out and took the stanchions to my friendly engineering chums next door.
The fork internals have a spacer in the top which is essentially a 90mm long tube. I had the stanchions shortened by the 52mm and the spacers shortened by 40mm. This will give a stiffer front end to eliminate the fork sliders hitting the bottom yoke. The stiffness will be compensated by the large profile of the front tyre. If it needs softening up then it's an easy job to ease a bit more from the spacers. The proof will be in the riding.

While trial fitting the wheels we discovered that they were built incorrectly, the offset on the rear was out by 6mm, the front by 2mm. So out they came again and back off to the builders to put right.
The other issue was the powder coating on the hubs, the bearing seats had been masked off but the disk mounting surfaces hadn't

Because the wheels were built and all dressed with lovely rubber machining the disk faces back wasn't an option so I conjured up another solution

Both front and rear discs are within 0.002" (Two Thou) now ..............
