Re: Archies 3YF Restoration and mods
Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. Had a big development I've managed to find all my parts for a resto. I found a company in Holland with loads of parts so I've bought a mint set of wheels and a headlight cover from them and won a new tank on ebay for 15 quid.

Re: XTZ 750 front end on a 660 3YF
The 750 uses a different linkage system where the shock passes through the swingarm so it is not a direct swap.
When I get chance I'll measure the width of my yolks so you can compare them to standard, you might not need new ones.
FYI. this looks like a 245mm front disk from a 750 :sherlock ...

Thanks for the replies lads. Front end swap is on then. What about the swingarm from the 750 would that swap over aswell.
