Hi

I've been postponing this project for a while but now I've finally found myself a WP MXMA4860 fork from a 2004 Husaberg. Still thinking whether to use the Husaberg's T-clamps that came with the fork and have a new stem made or go for the ones Off-The-Road is selling. Difference being that the Husaberg's T-clamps have a 22mm offset compared to OTR's 25mm, which is the original. Doesn't sound a big difference to me but some say that even a millimeter is a lot. Does anyone have experience on this, using a shorter offset in a Tenere I mean?

I'll be sending the fork to the WP importer here in Finland for complete tune-up and service. I've talked with them on the phone and they said something that there might be a problem getting springs that are stiff enough. They claimed that WP stopped making springs stiffer than 48 kg/mm to MXMA4860 fork. Whether 48 is enough or not, don't know. The original is 44 kg/mm. So once again, does anyone have any good opinions on this? What do you other Tenere-with-a-WP-fork riders have?

As always, I'll be using the bike in touring, tarmac and off-road so the tune-up of the fork should be a compromise. I prefer the bike to be good in everything so it doesn't have to be perfect in everything.
