Hi everyone -
Just posting to get opinions about one of the upgrades sometimes made for CB160 race bikes; namely, changing to CB200 forks. Would like to hear thoughts on whether there is a distinct difference in these forks (springs or other components) that warrant such an upgrade. Thanks!

I am assuming that the diameter of the hole was increased so that they can be slipped over the flange on the header. The hole on my early col...
