Not sure what you mean, but mines the standard and my wifes is the special. I did have some trouble with the pic's size but I thought they were all the same.

A Pleasent Surprise?

S'cool Papajoe.

Photobucket sometimes does its own "resizing" of the pics I've uploaded. No way to know how that affects them until one sees them here on Channel 11.

Me? I'd be ok if the pic of the bike I ride ended up bigger/better cause of the way "posting pics" plays out here.

Very Pleasing Pics!

Nice rides, Papa! Is the seat on the standard pretty confortable?

Hi Papajoe,
your wife's Special has Standard fork legs on it. Which is fine so long as they were swapped 'trees and all because in that case the steering trail will remain at the stock ~5".
If the fork is a hybrid with Special 'trees and Standard forks the trail will be increased to ~7"and that'll make the bike steer heavy.
When I did the reverse hybridization on my Special for sidecar use (Standard 'trees & Special forks) the trail was reduced to ~3" and the steering certainly got lighter.

Hey Okie, the seat is great. My wife had it recovered for me about a year and a half back.

Fred, I did a complete front end swap last summer. The old forks leaked and were rusted and basicly looked bad. I was not able to find a special front end at that time but got these at a good price.(free from my parts bike!)
