im trying to dry fit so ican get damper lugs welded on but
i cannot work out how to set this mudguard up on the forks :oops:
i put the ring on the forks(proper spanish turning mudguard forks) and fit mudguard but they sit higher than the bearing face and hit the steering cone, so bearing faces do not meet
should it have a different steering cone :?: :?:
can anyone advise me on how it should be fitted or have some photos of it fitted

As far as I know, there is no dust protection cup on ANY of the Series II's that have come out of Spain. Or at least there wasnt on any of the ones I've taken apart. The Spanish models have a spacer thin ring between the frame and lower bearing track. Did you find it like that or is it an Italian Series II frame you are trying to fit that on? I think that is the problem.

Do the following:

1- Remove the dust protection cup (and lower bearing track).
2- Refit bearing track
3- Fit fork race & greased cage
4- Fit the spacer ring
5- Gently sit the mudguard & clamp on the spacer ring
6- Acomodate the fork in place but dont tight it yet.
7- Time to locate the front mudguard
8- Find a set of bolts that will be discrete on the mudguard. Originals where phillips headed, now I find that the flat heads are far easier to fit.
9- Tighten the mudguard and do the upper steering cone.

You're ready to roll,

Here`s a pic of my Spanish S2 lower bearing set-up. The cup is much shallower than the Italian set-up.
I put a set of spanish forks into a mate`s Italian S2 and remember having to cut off a bit of the dust cover as it`s too deep to fit into the forks.

There`s something odd about the bearing race on your forks too, the collar should surround it as in the pic of mine below.
