Teds new project a CB500 K1 mostly version 0.5 circa 1972.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Sounds a brilliant service I can't see any physical bend in them the photo & angle make them just look odd.
Not sure if it's damage or how they are - both fork ears have small creases on the inside. One is well pitted with rust the offside one is not bad.
Bryanj:
I have one nos pair for No36 i will see if i can get to them for pictures Ted

Pictures should be okay if you use my e-mail Bryan or what's app if easier..
Not sure what No36 means?
Cheers Ted
I've dismantled the pair of forks without issue so I have the long bit with a spring out of the alloy cases.
Laverdaroo:
Bryan is referring to his Number 36 off the production line I think Ted, its a sooper dooper really early one he has.
Ive probably got some internals up for grabs if anything is knackered in there Ted, speak up and I'll have a mooch round the shed when I get home.
Forgot to say, I managed a speeding ticket on the way ho,me from yours..........76 in a 70! Miserable buggers!
Had a great day and met you n Wendy so more than worth it. How are the plants doing, your tank lookingh like the Amazon
yet? ;)
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Looking at my now dismantled front forks if I am completely honest I can't get my head around how they actually work.
A long spring with a puddle of oil in the bottom?
I was expecting some sort of piston in the middle at least.
I'll have to search the net for a schematic diagram.
