DCB650 - distance between fork legs?
« on: August 07, 2010, 02:03:09 AM »
I'm putting a 400/4 wheel in in CB650 forks (air assisted ones) & trying to juggle spacers & bearings at the moment.The forks I have are pictured below & have an airline running between them at the top.

Can anyone advsie what the distance between the fork legs should be (at the axle) when they are all tightened up?   (ie - so the total of the wheel hub and spacers?)





thanks!

The forks in the pick are off a 81 cusom or 82 nitehawk.  The spacing is wider thwn the other 650's.   Sorry dont have one to messure at the moment.

You might have to mount them in your triple tree and work it out from there.
I think the thing I most like about motorcycling is the speed at which my brain must process information at to avoid the numb skulls who are eating pies, playing the ukulele, applying make-up etc in the comfort of their airconditioned armchairs as they make random attempts to kill me!!!!!!!
