[QUOTE="backlander, post: 115101, member: 2035"] Initial mock up continues today with the 77 Vetter 4 and mount. The 77 mount will fit the 84 frame with very gentle prying, it was like hardly any at all. There are clearance problems with the turn signal cancel and dust shield mount that will have to be worked out. Also the front forks hit the same crossbar on the mount keeping it from having full lock to lock swing.
