Stax L700 headband ?

[bralk]

I have the L700 MkII and I find the headband pressure too high.

I wonder if the original L700 headband would lessen the pressure as the 

“arm” of the forks are a straight construction without the bend at the bottom in the MkII model.

Any “swithers” between the too models heamdband ?

I've put Mk2 forks on a Mk1 but the pressure has never bothered me.  You can bend the arc a bit on these but don't take it too far.

Thanks

The arc looks like plastic -  perhaps warming up with a hair dryer before bending.

It is plastic covering a metal core

Does 009 have the same metal core in plastic?

[spritzer]

Yes, they have an identical headband it's not as strong as the 007 arcs which can be bent back and forth.
