      Man, you're dead set on me having that skunk!

      Here's another technical question:

      What were the ergos on a '78 1000 vs an '83 750T? I sat on a '78 1000 the other day and all three of those in attendance were SHOCKED to find that the 1000 actually had quite a bit less leg-room than my 750. Pat (Gravity Tester) who is about my height, was actually cramping up a bit from just sitting on it parked.

          Hell, I can stretch 'em just fine! Doesn't make 'em any shorter, unfortunately!

            Since the discs on the 750L wheel I've got are smaller than the single disc on my T's front wheel, I should just need the two fork tubes from bike with the same size discs, the calipers, master cylinder and associated plumbing, correct?

            Am I way off? Should I just start a new thread without the b*ll**** in the beginning?

                  I have neither bike anymore, but if I remember correctly, the 79 750 had smaller diameter fork tubes than my 80 and 83 1100's. 79 750 is an 8 valve and I know you have a TSCC 16 valve, so I am not positive the fork tubes were unchanged in size between the 8 and 16 valve 750's.

                  Am I missing something?
