Topic: Best Triple Tree for Seeley

[Tim2005]

Is that the Seeley frame data or the Honda frame data? Seeley's wheelbase is shorter than stock.

Thomas, were there any geometry changes, ie rake, for the F Seeley frames, or just oil tank mounting tabs? What about the racing frames?

Thats a good question Scott, as the F model Honda's had different geometry....

yes ,,and

Slightly different rake and 10mm less offset on the triple clamps.

75/6 F  wheelbase 57.9 inches
            caster angle  28 degrees
            offset 50mm
            trail  4.5 inches
           
76K     wheelbase 57.3 inches
           caster angle 27 degrees
           offset 60mm
           trail  3.7 inches

Awesome, thank you

Its all in there mate.... {Honda}   The point of the question was that Honda have different geometry for either model, so theoretically so should Seeley, 10mm difference in the stock clamps changes the trail quite a bit as does the 1 degree difference in rake....

Is there a casting or stamp to identify one from the other ? 

Thanks

9" trail is obviously a typo....

it's true that steering geometry of old UJM's can be steppened up to more modern figures, that's what i do with my racers. but for street riding i keep my kz750 in stock settings. depends what what you want to achieve really. 90% of the change can be achieved with just longer shocks or offset mounting plates that give you flexibility and allow you to go back to stock if you dont like it
