    Default VL parts on VH

    Are there any parts you can use of a VL that will fit a VH like springs, disc brakes, interior components, etc. thanks

    all the headlight and radiator support should be exactly the same, they never changed it from the vk, the vl was only slightly changed with the front nose cone/gaurds and the rear qtrs/boot to make it look longer and sleeker
