1 Leading link forks Fri 08 Dec 2023, 17:19

I have decided to just build a more or less standard leading link fork. This is the style I am following.
I am using triples from a 4V K100. Fork tube size is 41.3mm (1 5/8"). For the upper tubes, as in the photo, I will use 1.75" x .375" wall DOM tube. The length from the top of the top clamp to the bottom of the triple tree, will be turned down to 41.3mm. That will leave .250" wall thickness between the clamps. The tube remaining below the bottom clamp will be an appropriate length to weld the fabricated rear legs to. I still have some dimensions to work out. That said, can anyone get me a length measurement of the fork length from the bottom of the triple tree to center of the axle (I'm ignoring the 5mm(?) offset of the axle hole from the centerline of the lower leg)?
