"Curve", most likely. "Curb" ist the edge of the gutter or footpath on the side of the road.

Haha: "English" lesson:

"Curve" on motorcycle = good!

Curve "too fast" on motorcycle = bad! 

"Curb" (edge of the road) on motorcycle =  very bad!

Steering head bearings too tight? Steering damper? IMWTK.

A bit more correct measures today and measureing the trail difference between the 2 Greenie's, 8mm. A very short testride will tell. Shoud be able to feel difference with just rising the forks, but perty sure not enough.
Be prepeared for more quessing with my eeenglish
Cheers Tom.

Not sure I follow what you're saying, but am interested!  My Norwegian language skills are just barely above "zero", though I try, so i'm not complaining.  Sounds like you did take the beauty for a spin and she wasn't behaving?

She have no interest of going thru a sharp CURVE, no help from the bike. And then when she finally get it, she is quikly ready for to much. Clamps belong on a track, me think. You realy have to be the boss.
Cheers Tom.

A little testride today, what a difference. Not perfect in a roundabout, but so much better.
Raised the forks 1.5mm extra today, that's max because of different dia on the forks.
At least found out why she was behaving like she was.
Original clamps later.
Cheers Tom.

Is there a chance these are the very early V11 Sport clamps that were carried over from the 1100 Sport production?

No marking or numbers underneat. Think you mentioned that's an very early Greenie.
If a V11 had those clamps in the showrom, NOT 1 woud have been sold. Never ever ridden a bike with a frontend feeling like that
Today a nice day , may be IPA.
Cheers Tom.

Do those clamps look similar/same to those on your 1100 Sport?
