Paul. I too looked at the book i bought off you which is what you have put up. I have definitely got 78 staunchings ( chrome bit) as it has air caps which are for a 78. As far as length goes, he must have modified the internals (damper rods) as it only has 8.5 " of travel, using the method suggested by stu. There is extra travel in the forks that you have to pull apart to get. just measuring the forks in the bike with the front wheel off the ground is not enough. That is why there is a difference between my initial extended measurement. I am over confident that the suspension is within the limits and the only issue until told otherwise is the air caps which are off a later model. I will rectify asap. Can you give me the original owners phone number so i can contact him via email?

    Hl Brad , you are still mearsuring it wrong
     Would you like me to explain to you how to measure it
     It will be more than 9" in travel
     Again rule 18.7.7.1
     a) regardless of original specification,no motorcycle may have more than 229mm(9") of suspension travel at the front and rear wheels
     I did not make these rules    
     I do not want to have a slagging match over the web
     But i am right    

     maico stu

Hey Maico Stu

Any chance you can explain the correct way to measure the travel for the purpose of compliance,

Bills a Rock and Roll singer now, he made his debut sunday night at the nats with Gary S on the gitar in front of Norm Watts and John Boag. He has many hidden talents the pom, got a standing ovation and did an encore, might even have his own band for CD7 at Conondale! Hes probably looking for back up singers and musos, you can contact him via the forum, DJ I here is going to do the crocodile rock!Let the talent quest begin. Firko can do a bit of JJ Cale, Brad of course will be doing Elvis numbers, Vandy can do some Dobbie Bros, I can see it (here it) now , well all be crying in our glasses, Nathan doing Abba (sorry mate but you have got a Volvo pickie next to your name), the beat goes on,........ lardy, lardy, lar. Cheers John ;D :D ;D :D 8)
