68 t500 cobra???

Post by johnakay »

can any one give me the size of the front fender stays.
another guy claims it 5/8" I think that maybe wrong? over 1/2" of solid metal to which he claims.
I've ask before so some body on here must know!

I measured the stay on my bike and it was 100mm or about 4/10 inch.

John.
The stays measure 10mm dia, and where they flatten them at the bolt holes, they measure a little over 4mm, suggesting about 2mm wall thickness. Hope this helps. Cheers.
