It IS purely mechanical and many can be made to function well with a little lube inserted into the back. I fixed mine that way 5 years ago. No more grinding and erratic readings. As far as the forks, I have 83 Interstate Tracs on my 82. The Aspencade forks will work but are a little different from Interstate forks and require Aspencade brake mounting hardware.The calipers will work with the 83 mounting hardware. The calipers mount a little lower, so your brake lines will be stressed when the forks extend. I used it that way for a year then fitted custom brake lines that are about an inch longer than stock. The 83 forks with built in fork brace are an improvement over 82.
