Topic: K fork tubes in F forks?

[jaguar]

i have a F front end and want to use it for my project but the tubes are bent.  will K tubes work with the F lowers?  what about the ones that cycle X sells?  those are Ks right?  will they "bolt" up to my F lowers?

what year is your bike?? and what model??? 750? 550? 500 400??

[ev0lution7]

if its for your cb750 i would say yes its only the fork "body' that is different on the "F" the forks tubes are the same size.

the forks i have are 78 750F forks.  the tubes are shot.
i can only find k tubes or the cycle x tube and i think those are listed for K bikes.  i know that some  of the K1-8 bikes had different lenghts but as lond as the rest of the tube is the same and also the same as the F tubes then im ok

i think they are the same i know in 74 they changed a little so watch out for that but cyccle x assumes your not using pre 73 stuff i think

I've got 78K tubes and internals in my 73K lowers...it was a half inch or so longer overall but worked just fine.
