Darma heads every house should serve a bikers needs. The dining room was getting tired so a complete redesign was needed.Now before I diverse too much this thread is about the build so here's the mock up so far with the new forks which incidentally vat and import duty applies if a item is over £135.

So what forks did you go for? they don't look to be original fitment.

And a bonus Guzzi photo

& if I'm not mistaken a V35 Imola. I have fond memories of my time with a V50.

The forks are supposed to be Monster S4 but I doubt it. They are longer but with the rear jacked up should suit me as I am 6 foot. Yes my imola was in the pick best handling bike I have ever owned only problem I couldn't move properly for days after riding it. Back to the forks I have managed to get a 2023 RSV 4 front mudguard which will fit with some tweaking. I got a wheel spindles machined up today. Now I know the handling may be a bit weird but the bike is now exactly the same height as my CCM supermoto so there's a little hope.
