750T Fork Specs?

[Guest]

Does anyone have the measurements on the diameter of the inner tubes & the length of the outer tubes for the 750T's? I'm trying to avoid buying a caliper and ripping the front end apart if I don't have to.

Thanks,
Mike

Hopefully I can save you a bit of trouble. Sorry, but it's not metric, don't have anything metric in the place except for some sockets. Wait... there is a vernier caliper that I could use to measure with. Hmm... I'll have to do that tomorrow, when I go back. Till then, here's the standard measurements, if they help any.
On mine, the inner tube diam. is 1 3/8" and the outer tube length is 13 3/8" (not including the bottom bracket or the top rubber seal).

Oh man, that's great! Thanks so much.

I can't wait for the metric measurements, but until then, I'll see if I can convert!

Thanks again!

from online conversion
1.375 inch = 34.925 millimeter
13.375 inch = 339.725 millimeter

It ends up that the calipers are both standard, so I don't currently have a way to measure in metric. Hope this works for you. If not, I can see what I can do.
You might be able to loan a caliper. I know that at my local Napa, AutoZone and O'Reilly's they loan out tools. Put down a deposit, get the tool, and get back your money when you return the tool undamaged. This is how I'm getting a torque wrench. Dunno if they'd have calipers, but it can't hurt to call around and check.

It's perfect. Thanks so much.

I used the inner tubes from my '82 T and the lowers from my '81 E and they fit together. The T models inner tubes were about .75" shorter than the E, but the diameter is the same. It worked as an advantage on my E to quicken the steering up.
