Lengthening USD Forks - Page 3 - SV650.org

Right had a quick measure and they're approc 72cm from top of fork leg/cap (not incl adjusters etc) to the centre of the spindle.
It looks like its had a new stem as its been welded in to the yoke, not sure if its the cbr one or a made job, but it doesn't fit very well around the top yoke as the spacers/nuts dont meet the top yoke, which will need sorting as well as the lockstops

Cheers for that. Their about the same as the ZXR's under the weight of the the bike, yours just look longer.

If the stem is the CBR's I'm surprised it doesn't fit well as it would have to have been cut out of the CBR's and then welded onto the RGV's yoke. And yes those are some mighty big lock stops, but nothing that can't be sorted with a Dremmel!

Let me know what you decide to do with it as I would be very interested as it shows a lot of potential.

Thanks again.
