it is possible but there is a bit of mucking around, you need a welder for starters.

the spring perch needs to be cut off and a perch from a stanza to be welded on in its place, but in the position which gives you your desired ride height.

there is also a bit of mucking around to be done with which strut top you use. having said that the brakes are good to use and the stub axle angle allows you to run a broad range of wheel. but as the stub axle angle is different, some ugly positive camber kreeps in. could be fixed with adjustable strut tops but the list goes on really.

on the positive side it is a short strut to start with and the brakes are large (for a 1200) vented disks with nice big single piston calipers.

not a conversion for the "bolt in" people, but a good one nonetheless
