I forgot to mention that the new forks had a problem that I was aware of when I bought them. The yokes had a crack in one of the clamps. But as you may remember I had recently bought some Paioli fork yokes so when I saw these forks at a reduced price I jumped at it as I only needed the fork tubes.
This morning I swapped the broken yokes for the Paioli ones which fitted perfectly. Next thing is to measure up and order a caliper.
So yesterday my new pair of forks arrived for the Tomos. I found them on Ebay france. The are actually for a peugeot 103 but I can adapt them to fit. The most important thing about these forks is that they have a caliper mount for a disc brake. Im going to build this new front end off the bike and when its finished I'll install it.
Yesterday I test fitted the second hand exhaust I bought for the peugeot believed to be a Leo-Vince pipe.
It cleared the centre stand but not the right hand peddle.
I will need to make a swinging exhaust mount and I bought a couple of heavy duty rubber mounts that I can adapt to fit.
I used a wire brush on the pipe then gave it a coat of matt black stove paint.
I think I may have to loose my right hand peddle but this is all just temporary until my Simonini circuit pipe arrives.
I picked up these clip-ons and included throttle assembly for the new forks that ive ordered for the Tomos.
