if they are the same diameter, yes and it looks as if they are
http://www.ohiocaferacers.com/ go to tech tips and look at standard fork tube sizes
personally I'd just renew the 650 seals

so....if the stamp on the tag with the serial number reads 12/73 i think that would mean that it was built in december of 73...now would that make it a 1974 model?

and as has been said before, do this asking in the sohc section, more traffic and the search function works better

Yes, the project shop section would seem really to be for those who have a bike build to showoff and discuss.   Otherwise having a separate section is pointless.  Judging by the posts in this forum, this is frequently misunderstood. Read the first post (highlighted) in this section! . . .If you search from the "Tech Forums" page it will search all the forum sections, giving you the widest search.
