    Hi all,

    Currently trying to see if some R&G fork and swingarm sliders will or could fit my 5th gen, but i need measurements before i begin and i don't have access to an 8th gen.

    What i need:

    Width of forks along the spindle
    Internal diameter of the rear wheel left side locking nut.

    Help greatly appreciated.

    Forks are 8" on center, bottom of forks where spindle passes through are 1 1/4" thick. So deduct 2 halves (1 1/4") leaves 6 3/4". Close as I can get.

    Internal diameter of locking nut is 1.112" measured with vernier calipers. You will have to do your own metric conversion!

    Found my conversion app on the iPhone:

    6 3/4" = 17.145 cm

    1.112" = 2.82448 cm

    Need any more accuracy?
