Sorry if this has been covered before.
I have 2 bikes both needing new forks an NC23 and an NC29. Now, I happen to have 2 sets of nearly new street triple (not street triple R sadly) USD forks that the standard 23/29 brakes, wheel and disc set up fit straight on. I could CAD up a new set of yokes and get a machine shop to make them for me but there's the risk they won't fit quite right and all that time and money is wasted...
If however, the dimensions of the RVF yokes work (with the lock stops would be a bonus) on the CBRs and street triple forks then I could just source a couple of sets of RVF yokes and hopefully it'll all bolt together!
My question is could someone with an RVF tell me the diameter of the fork legs at the lower yoke and upper yoke, and the distance apart (wheel spacer to wheel spacer) of the legs?
Thanks!

Yes, but not until next weekend, which I appreciate is probably not a lot of help... lol

Next weekend is helpful enough, I am tied up with final exams followed by celebrating completing my degree pretty much for the next fortnight anyway...!

Re: RVF400 fork dimensions
So in the end, did this work either option on those bikes 23/29s?
