3TJ fork stanchion length above rubber

Post by **Maelstrom** » Thu Jun 01, 2017 1:20 pm

Hi All,
My 3TJ forks were butchered to fit some dodgy air cap things and I am just a bit worried if the stanchion was actually shortened. If anyone has the opportunity could you just measure from the top of the dust cap to the top of the stanchion, excluding cap, for me please.
Cheers
Blair

with forks removed from the bike the distance from the top of the dust seal to the top of the fork (without cap) is about 354.5mm

Well thanks for that. Something is a bit strange though, mine is 370mm.

Another 3TJ owner sent me their measurement as 356 so mine seems like someone has changed the forks and/or stanchions. Given that it has weird caps with some sort of air fitting inside.

Xjs or r6 stanchions?
Still got standard calipers fitted? Could be the lot swapped :)

I only needed the correct length so that I can set my USD forks the same. The old bits can go in the bin.
