A dream machine if I've ever seen one. I asked 'em to do tight clearances for track use only and to give me a straight blade. Little had I realized that they meant this to be a zero rake fork, which gives a huge amount of trail and is disastrous on the track. It leads to a very noticeable wiggle at high speeds. A replacement fork is "in paint" and will be on the way to me shortly!
