The game is afoot…
We've seen many Partzilla errors especially around the TX650It’s odd that Partzilla has the seals for the 650 and the 750 as the same. 584-23145-50-00
What if I had a seal that was about 1mm more on the outside dia. The forks are 34mm dia. I need a seal about 47mm x 34mm. Does anyone know any years 650 specs on the later 34mm inside dia and about 47 outside. When did they go to 36 dia forks?
when the temps get back above zero tomorrow I'll browse the SOIR for yah.So it looks like I have the wrong lower. Anyone have the correct left lower?
Thanks.

Don't wander away til you tell us what ID that other leg was!Guys I found a left 34mm fork bottom. Thanks for all your help.
The tell is the placement of the fender strut mounting tabs on the bottom of the lower leg. 73 tabs are placed lower down the leg (closer to axle). You can see this in the fiches. Shape of the mounting tabs is a little different too.@DogBunny anyone else know of any tells tween 73 to 75?

Partzilla also got it right, you just looked it up wrong. They show the 73 TX750 seal as 341-23145-51-00, different from the 73 TX650.We've seen many Partzilla errors especially around the TX650
The fender mounts are lower on 72 fork legs. I think 73-76 mounts are in the same position. I put a 75 fender on 73 fork legs. I had to use 75 stays not because of a difference in lengths but because on the shape of the fender. 73 fenders are rounder than 75 fenders.The tell is the placement of the fender strut mounting tabs on the bottom of the lower leg. 73 tabs are placed lower down the leg (closer to axle).

The differing placement of the tabs is a big part of the reason why the fenders don't interchange from 73 to 74-76.
You are right. Not sure what the difference is between 73 and 74-75 forks. (76 forks are easy to tell because they moved the caliper to behind the tube.)The fender mounts are lower on 72 fork legs.

Below is a pic of a 75 fender on 73 fork legs.
Same bike with 73 fender and stays.
If that’s slowly I’ve been wrong about speed my whole life!Got part of the front end installed. Also got part of the back installed. Slowly getting there.
