    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Yes, size does matter....

Quick question - does anybody know off the top of their head (or from available microfiche) what the outside fork tube diameter is on an '83 750ED?

I want to grab some aftermarket clipons - I'm eying an aftermarket fairing, and it doesn't look like it will work with the height of the factory clip-on risers (not even with my 1" lower risers). There's plenty of tube coming through the triple at stock height for clip-ons, and I've been perusing Ebay - but I'm just not sure the size I need. I'd go out and put a tape on it, but want to be dead-on, and it's a bear reading over the spring retaining nut with a tape when clip-ons are sized to the millimeter - I don't have a vernier handy...

Thanks,


-Q!
 
The bars from a Honda 600F2 work just right. Thosr are what I had on the stock forks of my GS700.
 
Yeah - I was about to ask the same thing. MFR spec on the F2 is 41mm.

Do tell...

And Pro Flo makes some nice clip-ons, but all aftermarket clip-ons are too @$%# expensive - that's why I'm looking for a used set of OEM clipons - they're significantly cheaper on Ebay....
 
Did the bars quite awhile ago, they may be from a 600F1. Whatever, they are 37mm and give just about 1 inch of rise. No modifications.
