T125 Forks
Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2023 11:02 am
Hello,
I'm building up a T125 Stinger/Flying Leopard from parts wherever I find them, but I've hit a problem with fork dimensions.
I have two sets of forks and yokes/triple trees, both of which I bought as being from the T125 models.
The first set seems to be identical in every respect to that fitted to my '71 ACC50, lengthwise and also in having a 10mm axle.
The second is set is fractionally longer, 635mm vs 625mm, measured from the bottom of the top yoke to the centre of the wheel spindle/axle, and has a 12mm axle.
The latter set allows the fitment of the Stinger headlamp brackets, which are too long for the first set.
So, can anybody tell me what the correct fork length should be for a T125, as measured from the bottom of the top yoke to the wheel spindle centre?
In addition, what diameter should the front brake hub be? Roy Bacons' book (my main source of info) has the spec as 140mm for the front (and rear too, which seems improbable!). However, the second set of forks came with a wheel, and the brake hub is of only 130mm diameter.
Any information gratefully received!
