cheers for the link :) but it doesn't tell me what length the damper has to be and the stroke of the damper i presume it has to have a 41mm clamp made up to attach it to the fork stanchion

Not too bad, but expensive. Spondon adjustable yokes and fork top extenders were used. Then there's the cost of the brakes and forks themselves.

My sponsor has some for sale at the moment.
