std fork bottoms with special top tubes

[jimg1au]

hi
after repairing two front ends.std and special.i was wondering if anyone had put the special top tubes on to std bottom sliders.the top tubes are the same size in dia.i am building up a special as they never came to australia, and want to give it a more custom look.i am restricted to use a 17 inch rear as no 16 s came to aust.so i want to lower the back with progressive shocks and lift the front.the special front end (midnight special lh i have one) is the same as the rh/sport.i have 2 of these bikes and also a std.
thanks

Hi Jim

DennyZ put special uppers in his standard lowers. He did it so there would be enough tube sticking out of the triple tree to be able to use clipon bars, worked great.
