Ducati fork lengths..

[neatbik]

Long shot i know, but the Ducati forums arent really giving any info up.
Does anyone know the length (from centre of spindle hole to very top of adjusters) of Ducati 851/888 forks and also non-adjustable SS forks?

Thanks,
Nick

Try the Ducati Sporting club, or Moto Rapido have an 851 in, I think.

let me talk toa buddy, hes got an 851. he may not bother measuring them but it wont do any harm to ask. do want an uncompressed length and length with the weight of the bike?

Cheers guys.
Orac, lideally i need the length of the fork while its unsprung, but i appreciate this might be a pain in the ass.
I basically need to find a replacement pair of forks for a '98 Monster, i have sourced a couple of pairs of 851/888 forks but i need to know if they will fit i.e if they are too long they wont fit with the standard handlebars.
Cheers.

if that something like the m900, then i can tell you for free that they are different. he said he was going to get a set of 851 with preload adjuster for the front of his. he measured the forks up back and fround them to be different.

however he said that f he remeber hi will give them a quick measure but cant make any promises

Cheers mate, i have managed to find out they are indeed longer, so they wont fit with the standard handlebars.

I dont fancy clip ons or bar risers, so its back to looking for some Monster forks.
Thanks mate,
