Hi guys - I am having a minor brain freeze over my triple trees - I am restoring my 55 KHK, and sourced some triple trees, ostensibly 50's but when they arrived, checking against the manual, they didn't look to have the correct brackets & mount tabs for my year - graciously the seller just sent me on another pair, with the brackets that looked correct to the parts manual.
When the replacements arrived they looked perfect against the manual so I had the lower tree powder coated & the top tree stripped & rechromed & I have just tried to marry them up on the frame & the top tree just doesn't look right, the neck hole doesn't match to the the lower tree if the forks are lined up & vice versa - so I have tried the original trees he sent and they do fit, as does the original top tree (with incorrect holes/brackets) to the second lower tree he sent me -
the pictures show them side by side & then overlaid, so I am fairly positive it's the chromed top tree that's wrong, which looks exactly like the parts manual but just won't marry up ?
thoughts ?
