27, I don't have a spare pair sorry but be it known '78 RM125/250/400C 36mm forks will also slot straight in. Only difference I believe is the spring rate and minor revalving which is minimal difference anyway, the rest is identical. Might make it easier to locate something

Thanks Doc,but would they clear pre-78 scrutineering?-at the Classic titles for example.Thats my main worry.

[Doc]

yes they most certainly will 27..the C model forks are identical and perfectly legal in every way for pre '78 
my pre '78 RM125 has an A frame and swingarm, A model tank, '78 PE250 forks/triples, '78 C rear shocks, '78 front wheel and A model rear. The engine itself is a '78 C but it too is flow on with little change from the '77,,it's all legal

hey doc why do you run 78c shocks are they not too long and upset the handling

[Doc]

nope it all sits exactly the same when bolted up rm. No obvious gain in the C units only for the fact I had an RM125C and wanted to go pre '78. Keeping it within' regs I fitted as much C stuff as possible to the A chassis. The frames have the same geometry and are pretty much the same in all areas excepting a few little tabs and lugs and of course the steel swingarm instead of alloy of the C. It's like most of my bikes, a piece from here and a bit from there but they all seem to work

Thanks for that DOC-gives me a bigger pool to look in.
