35mm forks any brand
« on: November 24, 2012, 06:24:53 pm »
To suit an rl250 approx 800mm top of fork to axle centre. Although as with most things a bit longer is better than a bit shorter.
They'll need to be leading axle with usable chrome.

I just measured a few bikes and they were all too short for the RL. The longest set I found were from an Alpina and were 755mm.

Thanks anyway. I think the rl may have long legs for the era?

These forks were on the RMS which are 35mm I dismantled them for parts to rebuild the originals, I still have tubes ,rods and bodies the seal area has good chrome but between the clamps has a fair bit of rust.
I think they are SP or DR forks, the caps are internal socket type I could have compared them to my RL ones for you when I had mine stripped down a few months back  :(. Let me know if you need more info like measurements
