88 front end

Posted by giles_longbone at November 29. 2010

 

Can anyone help me sort my dommie front end? The wheel is offset in the forks and I suspect that I've got sliders to suit 7 and 3/8 " yokes. I could do with the dimensions of pre and post 1964 sliders in order to check, and similar for the spindle.

I believe the early bikes (my 61 and 62 ) all had 7" spacing.

If you have the 7 3/8 there is one plus to that, you can use the TLS brake which fits 7 3/8 not 7"

i dont believe there is any disadvantage to having the extra 3/8".  if you have the narrow single brake , add some shim washers to center it?

please note, i am not an expert, just a rider with a couple  of Nortons.
