Hi,
My forks are 35mm but the stanchions are not standard, please can someone identify them.
They measure 24+3/4" from axle to bottom of lower crown.
Overall length from axle center to top of stanchion fully extended is 34".
Cheers.

A stock fork has tubes that extend from the top of the seals about 15 inches. Your appear to be about 4 over. They probably need to be that long to get your chopper to set level.

Cheers XSLeo,
I think you are right they seem to be about 4 over.
I might need some longer springs or maybe some bigger spacers as they seem to compress quite a lot just under the weight of the bike.
 
A roll of quarters in place of the missing space might due. Just kidding, but who knows. If it works, it works. Those don't look like xsntubes to me. Xs'a have an adjustable preload.
 
Hi Angus67,
Yeah I think they may be off a dirt bike but which one i dunno.
I wonder if anyone out there has a list of compatible Stanchions or might be able to shed some light on what springs will fit in?
Cheers,
Dave.
