Mike711 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I'm planning some fork extensions as in this thread for my Kat forks Does anyone have the lower fork locating dowel, Suzuki call it an OIL PIECE & can measure it for me so I can have the spacers made prior to stripping my forks? Thanks in advance :-) Quote Link to comment
TonyGee Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 sorry Mike can't help, I haven't got one to measure and don't know if its the same size as the bandit oil piece. Quote Link to comment

No worries, I'm sure someone will have one. It's a great way to extend the forks. Thanks anyway. Quote Link to comment
Mike711 Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 Turned out to be a non starter, the stanchion has a machined finish below the swept area which would enter the swept area if I added an extension. I wonder if something like an 1100et or one of the factory customs of the era have a 37mm stanchion that's longer then the Kat one..................... Quote Link to comment
