Hello

I have a 1983 349MH which I think has the wrong stautions. With the bike lent against the wall the length from the centre of the axle to the bottom of the bottom yolk is 52cm. Is there anyone out there with one of these bikes who could take this measurment for me.

Thanks

Hi there,

I have measured my MH349 with the bike on a stand so the front wheel is clear of the ground. This means the measurement is not affected by sag in the springs.

The distance from the spindle centre to the bottom of the bottom yoke measures 57 cm. The top of stanchion (measured without the nut) is proud of the top yoke by 6 mm, this nicely quickens the steering.

The stanchions used in the MH349 are longer than those used in early 349's.

Hope this helps.
