but my 83 cali sloping forks like on the left, i didn't really notice it till i had my motomag next to it, and they had more rounded shoulders like the right side one's ( albeit with pinched drops)

also though don't pro class have different fork dimensions to std goose's

And on the left, later, maybe 83ish :-\

Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on October 14, 2013, 09:07 AM: left set are from a '95 Expert and the other set I picked up spare - but I did put the tange pinched forks on the '81 team as it was a Jan model and could have had either

I do have the 7/8's on the Dec '82 Supergoose and the '81 Team/Supergoose candy blue
