Fork Top Nuts

<< < (2/3) > >>

Thank-you! I'll check the dimensions over the weekend.

andy120t:
Photo of the CB650 version. These are the same thread - 1.5mm but the diameter is different at 31mm, as shown in the piccie.

Seems odd that they are the same diameter forks but quite different diameter nuts?



I may just revert to Plan A which is to find the right sized bolts & copper washers to replace the air valves. For this I need anthree  M8 x 1.0 (see piccie - is that metric fine?) which will replace the brass valve in the piccie, & also use them to fill the two holes where the air balance pipes enter the fork tops, so if anyone has any spares of this size...please let me know.     

All my M8 bolts seem to be x1.25 and local hardware shops aren't what they used to be.

Thinner tubes = less weight?

K2-K6:
You may have a problem finding any off the shelf fine pitch metric stuff.

As  stop gap you could cut the protruding part above the the brass hex off the existing and make some brass plugs up to fit the bore then solder them in to in effect "make" a bolt.

The CB750 K0-K6 are 28mm, I replaced 2 last year on my K4. Hope the information helps
