Front Fork Cir-Clips

(1/3) > >>

Mr_Sheene:
Please work on the basis that you're dealing with an idiot and this will go better for all concerned. I have a March 1970 CB750 and have recently stripped the front forks, which had been assembled by an ape with a hammer. As a result, I need all the usual, including new oil seal cir-clips. The old ones, despite being recently rebuilt (sic) were paper thin with rust. I was lucky to get them out. I can’t find any on the DSS web-site, so I checked Yamiya. Problem: They show Honda originals at 50mm (also at 100 Yen each, which must be typo) and Yamiya aftermarket at 47mm and 2000 Yen a pair. The price isn’t really relevant and if possible I prefer OE. I want what is best and correct for the bike but Yamiya don’t usually screw up, so what’s best and why the difference?

Trigger:
Because there are two different type of forks. I have trade packs of them, if you give me the size you want I will pop a couple in the post  ;) ;)

AshimotoK0:
Had the same problem ..ended up surface grinding some off another model that were 47mm (but thicker)  (may have been CX500). Yamiya prices are not a misprint I don't think. Like I have said before on here K0= £££ Moneypit Buyer beware  :(

Mr_Sheene:
Graham, thanks for the information and the offer, I'll be in touch when I've measured them. Ash, thanks for the advice but timing is everything.

Trigger:
Ash is correct as I looked for some 47mm ones for him. They are thinner than a std circlip and it is much cheaper to buy some std ones and grind down.
