Just got it firing!
After thinking about it for years I decided to choose a one-piece Wirth spring over a new pair of long springs from the 2-piece original set-up. After frigging around for 2 days (on and off) I've decided I've ran out of cheats to fit the standard fork bottom cup to the Wirth springs.
Wirth spring OD 26.2mm, Guzzi fork cup ID 25.0mm. I managed to fit the cup on one but the other leg has got me stumped.
I could not find any info on ill fitting Wirth springs anywhere on the net so thought it was a going to be a drop in fit.
I'm so close to shaving with a bench grinder a bit of outside meat off the lower part of the spring so it will fit the cup but thought I better ask around in case it's a stupid idea eg. it will weaken the spring?.
So what has worked for others, surely I'm not the first bastard with this problem?
If I knew I was going to frig around like I have I would have just bought a Cali II spring set.... it's always greener on the other side of the fence so they say.
