Help Identifying Forks
« on: March 08, 2015, 08:15:14 am »
I am busy with a CR replica using a donor race bike.
It came with a set of Early GL 1000 front calipers bolted onto a set of 35mm front forks which I suspected are CB750F2 units.
What is puzzling me is when I stripped the sliders off I found that the ID of the two sliders differed with one being 35mm and the other +- 36mm with a bush on the end taking up the difference to cope with the 35mm stantion.

I need to match a pair but don't know what the bushed unit comes off of. Anyone know??

The angle of the 2nd picture is weird.  They look like 79 cb650 forks, but it is hard to tell the length.

Replica = ditch the wrong forks and get something more true to the 4-bolt caps..........
