I would be intrested if I could fit them on my 1968 CB 350...
But im kinda not sure as how to mount them, Still kinda new...

 

[rockcitycafe]

all you will need to know is the diameter of the fork tube... they just slide on to the fork and lock in place

 

[dcmspikes]

could you shim these for smaller fork sizes?

 

[rockcitycafe]

dcm, I'm getting them made with 32mm bores, and reboring for larger tubes, what diameter is your bike? If need be, I could machine an aluminum tube to xmm id, 32mm od to fit even smaller but 32 is as small as I knew forks went on these old bikes

rock, as swapmeet said above, some of the 175s are 31mm. im good for now. i was just looking out for anyone else out there with smaller tubes. i talked with my brother (machinist) and he seemed to think that shims would be acceptable. just a thought for more applications. great idea by the way.

cool, lots out there racing 175's and 160's too, I'll look at what it would take to machine a .5mm aluminum tube with a slot, doesn't seem like it would take too long assuming i could get stock close to that size, maybe add $5 for the 31mm's

I like the way you have marked where each socket goes on your table.
