Fork tube length

Moto Guzzi V700, V7 Special, Ambassador, 850 GT, 850 GT California, Eldorado, and 850 California Police models

Thanks to Jason Telford for sending me this information via email and to Patrick Hayes, Ralf Brinkmann, and Jeff Buick who posted this information on the old Yahoo! Loopframe_Guzzi news group (which has now moved to Groups.io).

• The length of a drum brake fork tube (only the tube) measures 575 mm (~22 ⁵⁄₈ inch) in length.
• The length of a disc brake fork tube (only the tube) measures 583.4 mm (~22 ²⁹⁄₃₂ inch) in length. A measurement of another disc brake fork tube (only the tube) measures 580 mm (~22.83458 inch) in length.

Jason notes:

The drum brake tube with the nut on the bottom (that holds the sleeve) is just about the same length as the disc tube.
