Hey all,
I am working on a project and was wondering if someone could help me out with some information. I have a Yamaha XT500 and I am looking at doing a front end swap. The XT500 has 36mm fork tubes and I found out that the 77 xs750-2d does as well. I am hoping that I can use the tubes from an xs750-2d with the stock XT500 trees and then run the wheel from the xs750-2d as well. My main question is, how far apart are the tubes on the xs? Would someone be willing to measure their forks for me? I am specifically wondering about the xs750-2d because they have 36mm tubes, I think the xs750d might have 35mm tubes. I plan on running a single R6 caliper with an fzr600 rotor on the front end as well. Has anybody done this on an xs750-2d? Any help would be much appreciated!
