K7 Forks
« on: June 02, 2015, 01:44:54 PM »
Hi all, on close inspection it looks like my fork legs are creased, so if my memory serves me well they cant be re-chromed and straightened?  New fork tubes seem unavailable worldwide.  Anyone got any good ideas as I seem to be up sh1t creek without a paddle! ;D

Hi Bitsa, overall length from the top nut bolt head to the 12'oclock point on the wheel spindle recess is ~756mm, or ~787mm from the top nut to the bottom of the wheel spindle clamp.

I'm pretty confused to be honest.  Got the bike going at the weekend and the engine sounds really nice but the bike had a definate pull to the right.  Yokes look straight to me and if there is a bend in the forks its even so slight.  Would a very slight bend in the fork equate to a pull to the right?  I guess the wheel wouldnt be running true?

Cheers, Jamie
