CB400F fork leg length

(1/3) > >>

MikeSB6:
Hello Folks,

   can someone please tell me the overall fork leg length for a CB400F? That's the stanchion and slider assembled together, from the top of the stanchion tube to the middle of the axle hole when the bike is unloaded. I'm planning to build a special and want to use Italian 35mm forks for nefarious reasons of my own.

      Cheers, MikeJ

Nurse Julie:
Hi Mike
I can measure it for you from mine. Do you want the measurement with the front wheel on the ground or the bike on the centre stand with the weight off the wheel?. Taking into account that with the wheel on the ground the forks will be compressed somewhat or if on the centre stand with wheel off the ground the forks will be extended somewhat.

700mm fully extended.

Hope that will help.

I second this Herr
Youre gonna need new yokes or hone your 33mm ones out though!

MikeSB6:
Hello,

  wow! that was quick! Thanks for all the replies. I was planning to use CB550 yokes to take the fork legs. Now, what's 35mm in imperial?

     Cheers, MikeJ
