With the forks hanging, the spring will make contact with the headstock. That might also apply with the engine removed and the wheel on the ground. Although I thought the weight of the frame on it's own might be enough to give clearance. I just can't remember. Ron
Ok Ron that doesn’t sound too much of a problem , I suppose when checking the measurements I could use a String line , that way I wouldn’t have to take the forks off . Always looking for an easy way out me , What do you reckon ?.
