I do not know if it is easier to install fork from 1050, I wanted this black from KTM with Brembo brakes

Very nice front-end. Both WP and Brembo make very nice stuff. Are you doing anything to "balance out" the rear-end? Looking forward to a ride report...

[EddySeel]

THX.
Rear shock yet remains original, but the man from whom I got the WP front, rear their own as well.

[EddySeel]

test handlebars 28.6, drivers, brake and clutch lever, + steering stop/limit (in the red frame it´s handmade, not machined)

[EddySeel]

+ steering stop/limit (new better version) and original KTM Superduke brake hoses (length, even though I mounted wider handlebars is ok) from US ebay

[EddySeel]

Conversion is complete

Before and after

Hows the steering compared to before? Geometry looks to have changed a little bit.

That looks Great !

Good job breathing some life into one of the older models.

bearings and steering shaft are indigenous to triumph without modifications, glasses have a larger offset, so the wheelbase is longer, so I left fork 15 mm above the upper brackets to compensate for it (but I will be setting up to do a long test drive, yet there's still cold in Czech Republic)
