I have a 74 sprint veloce with a PK fork swap, hydraulic disc additon, Bitubo shock, custom headset master cylinder bracket.
Pm me for details, drawings, images and the long story of the install.
Totally worth it, but alot of work.
Here's the bracket-

And the scooter it fits to:

SIP do a replacement that's 30% stronger but my suggestion was perhaps a set of PK forks? Now he's been told that a very early set of PX forks will fit, which I'm not sure of, so want advice. All we both want is a set of forks so that I can fit a decent shock to in order to reduce the "shart" factor when braking!
Ideas please...........
joey speak to dai at on small wheels he done a few that dont bottom out

But does the PK XL2 conversion make the front wheel out of true with the rear? Engine is out of my Rally at the moment but hope to check it the moment it goes back in.

Can't say a thing about that as I haven't done the conversion.

yes it does put it out of line by about 4mm, some say its not noticeable but some racers dont like it
