So far with all of your help I've figured out this is a Honda front wheel set up, with post 77 triple trees (clamps). "Doncon" is providing me with a 71' tree (34mm forks) which I plan to bore out to 35mm. I think this will solve my clearance /turning radius issue. Thanks Don and all who...

I think the early triple trees (XXXX-1972) had a longer distance between the centerline of the forks and the centerline the stem pivot – I have a (PO modified) 1972 frame with "late model" (1976) trees and lock to lock has limited travel. what is your measurement ( current) on the stock...

Just picked up a nice retro mod 72 frame 75 engine. My issue - the fork stop travel is very limited, but is necessary because of fork/tank clearance. I'd like to increase the distance between the centerline of the fork triple tree pivot point and the centerline of the fork tubes. Any info...

Thanks Skull ...

OK spent the afternoon searching the site and the "net". And I still can't decipher the code 584 associated with my 75-76 XS650C 447-210687 motor ... what does the 584 code mean? Thanks :doh:
