Post by: kalex on February 05, 2013, 11:11 AM: i'm not saying they changed in 83, it's just it's one of the things i remember noticing about my cali.

i think i was pissing about with the front brake and just happened to think that there wasn't much clearance and thats when i spotted the narrow angle.

i must admit that i prefer the wider stance of the all chrome fork though

got to take the yellow paint of those one's but not expecting great chrome under - but looking as it will all be yellow in the end 8)
