Why don't you measure yours?

What length do you need?

I could go and measure mine up if you like, although it might take me a few mins cos I may have to hug my bike again!

The Haynes manual lists them as 41mm forks with 130mm travel.

i need from centre of the axle to the top of the forks, but not counting the adjusters and abviousy add on what ever sag you have ( :lol: )

if you could do that it would be brill :D

and simesb my bike is 180 od miles away in Devon smashed up on some blokes drive ;) lol

Top of stanchion to centre of the wheel axle was 750mm, however it may be more due to not knowing exactly how much static sag I have.

Hope that this is of some help.

Good luck with the rebuild.

Barwel, I measure mine too - 745mm. from the centre of the axle to the top of the tube, without adjuster and cap-nut :)
