CB750 K6 Fork length.
« on: August 31, 2018, 10:30:13 AM »
Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help. I am restoring above and the Fork Tubes are U/S. My tubes are 580 x 35mm
I see a lot of fork tubes advertised at 607 x 35mm. Can I use these without major changes to geometry and having to change springs etc.
Thanks so much in anticipation.

I bought tubes from CycleX, 22 13/16 inches long. DSS sell same tubes when order.
Back from my garage measuring a tube, 580mm is correct lenght for CB750K6
