What is the length of the XS650 forks (say, the later adjustable style) from end to center of axle hole?
What size front axle does the XS650 use?
 
Here's gggGary's composite pic of XS650 front axles...

So, 17mm for the front axle.

What about fork length? Let's go with the '73-84, preferably the later models. They're probably all the same length, no?
 
For fork lengths, you may want the fully-extended measurement from axle center to top of tube, excluding mods and variables, like lowering kits and sag settings. That way, you'll have a known and reliable starting point...
