Hello all,
I am still having trouble with my xr650r's flighty front end, she has showa USD's and yokes from a crf450.
After several emails and calls to suspension specialists I have come to understand that by changing the yokes I have also changed the bikes geometry and in my case have increased the rake angle or at the least shortened the wheelbase.
What I need now are a new set of yokes with the same measurements and angles as the original yokes, only with much wider holes machined to accept the wider USD forks.
I could buy a set an try to sell them again, but if one or even a few of you could take measurements for me i could give these along with my crf yokes to my engineer.
If a line were drawn from fork centre to fork centre, then all I really need is the distance from the midpoint of this line to the centre of the stem.
Everything else can be measures from the crf's (i think)
If there are any more you think I might need, then great.
A photo with all the measurements would be perfect.
I have done an awful lot to the bike and once i get this problem sorted i will post lots of pictures an details of mods.
Many thanks, rossa.
