Ben's 900 Monster build

[Mr Gazza]

The standard alloy fork tubes on Monsters are 450mm long. (SS models are 500.)
No idea what 916 ones are, Maybe DD could measure?

The adjustable ones are standard on the Sie. They project 20mm above the top yoke. That's the fork leg not the including the adjusters.
The Sie models have longer risers as standard to clear all the gubbins, these will be available as a spare part I would imagine. Mine has a one piece top clamp, I imagine that gives the assembly a bit more rigidity. The clamping bolts are correspondingly longer.

There's probably no reason why you couldn't just double up the standard risers, using the appropriate bolts, but you would have half a handlebar hole showing.

The alloy tube (from the dust seal to where the red adjuster fits to) measures 480mm, plus the actual adjuster mechanism measures (approx.) between 30 and 40mm, depending on the amount of preload.

Mine have 50mm protruding above the yoke but this could be more or less, depending on preload and ride height (how far the forks are into the yoke).

Thanks DD.
That might go a little way to identifying a set of forks that Nasher found in Mark's stash, which I bought and subsequently sold back to Nasher. They were 485mm and the best guess was that they were from 748.

Looks like you have about 20mm of tube above the yoke in the photo?

In that pic maybe but that was pre-build. Probably around 10-15 now as I raised it a little, along with the rear.
