    Even if he gets the master and all of the works?

      He would have to replace the forks, triple trees and everything, the entire front end. That said, if he did so, he would not have the special's weird calipers, but rather the standards which are cheaper to get pads for and easier to find pads for as well. So, if willing to make the switch (and there are issues because the special light has issues mounting onto the standard trees and forks, too much space IIRC but that's much less of an issue than the other way where you have to cut some out), it's probably not a bad swap. You also lose the air over oil forks, but that's not really an issue for a lot of folks anyways.

                I will be playing in the garage tomorrow night, as long as work let me. I would sell you the entire master for 30.00, if thats cool? I will fill it with fluid and do a pressure test on it.

                          Side cover, rear master, exhaust, motor, seat and tank are accounted for.. What are you looking for?
