The 1960 basket case DomiI have has 7" yokes, but it has fork sliders from 7 3/8 wide fork, I was going to have thammachined on the bottom and turn them in to 7" sliders by removing 3/16 of the inside of each leg.

But I now have a set of mudguards the front one being from a 7 3/8 wide fork.

So to save time and cost (I am poor now because of the mudguards)my plan is to fit 7 3/8 yokes whan I can get some.WILL THIS WORK ????

Many Thanks Ian

A BIG YES to your plan.

All theparts will fit together as long as they are the proper bits. You should be looking for yokes with part numbers:-

- 030027 TOP Yoke (or Head Clip)

& - 030026 Crown and Stem (or Bottom yoke)

The extra metal on the slider bosses and brake anchor point will keep the front wheel in a central position between the legs with no mods needed.

However, don't forget that the wider yokes will require a longer wheel spindle

Things to watch out for.Make sure that the all the nuts for the stem are the correct thread. 26tpi Cycle. Early Commando yokes look very similar and can be used on a Dommi frame but have UNF threads all over. The stem nuts for these are 28tpi.Cycle nutswill go on so far and then tighten upbeforespoiling the threads. Also there are sidecar andsome hybrid Nortons yokes that look very similar and will fit the headstock but give dodgy trail angles. Avoid using any with numbers 030499, 030340 and030402.

Ian, did you ever get your 7 3/8 yokes? I'm looking for a good 7'' top yoke for my 1960 99 in order to 'de-cafe' it. When I do I'll have a spare Tickle yoke for someones project.

Thanks Robert
