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 ( )

if you could do that it would be brill

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.

cheers (once again)

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