XS650B fork lowers

[scott s]

I screwed up and cracked the left lower fork leg on my 34mm XS650B when doing fork seals. I cross referenced the part # and it shows the '74 and '75 models only as interchanging.
What's the difference between them and the other 34 mm forks? Caliper mount or something? Can I use any 34mm fork or fork lower?

Hi Scott....I traded out the 34mm's from a 75 B by swapping in a set of 35's from a 79 SF at the steering column. One of the fork lowers of the 34 mm's was also cracked out badly where the fork seal is held in (the right fork) now junked. As a result I happen to have one complete fork, the left one (which clamps on the axle) available and in good shape.

Which one did you break/need a replacement for? PM if interested....Blue

To confirm Scott....the left hand fork assembly (tube and lower) with axle clamp lower (part #22 above) is the unit shipping to you today 1/3/12. Best, Blue
