I have seen guys use a Cali-2 front fender with a T front end on a looper. Looks very close to stock and is hard to tell the difference.

Suzuki front end on an Eldo frame?
If you have what have you found? I understand that a T front end will "fit"
with some work.

Because of a single disk limitation in my class, I went with a T front end
on my V-700 race bike. All it takes is a .200" spacer under the lower head
bearing & a T-3 front end will bolt right up to your Eldo. The problem I have
heard expressed is that its hard to adapt an Eldo fender to the T front end.
In my case the race bike is already butt ugly so it was not a concern to bolt
on the T fender.
