Hi evo550, I think it was me who called you a few days ago. I sent my email via text, did you get it ok? Otherwise i can pm. I downloaded some pics of the bikes, looks good. I contacted a local supplier and he has a dead it465 he will part out to give me the forks,front wheel inc brakes and swingarm. They should fit i think? Cheers, Shane.

Noisy,
No worries, I got your text, but assumed Fatboy was you :-\
Check to see what size the it forks are, you are best to get a set of 43mm as accessory stiffer springs are avaliable (you WILL need them)
a drum brake tt600 font end is another good option.
With the it swing arm you will also need to extend the rear brake rod and chain.

Oh yeah, and remember, it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission ;) :D

Thanks for the tip EVO, the IT forks are 38mm so i thought they would go straight in to the 550 triple clamps. I think the same supplier has a dead 600 too, so may be the go.
I will keep you updated. ;D
Cheers!
