Could anyone provide some measurements related to the 907ie forks.
I have put 907ie swingarm on a 906 as well as tryign to keep 16" front wheel with higher profile trye. I am questioning how much I dropped/lengthenned the 906 forks - don't want speed wobble! I want to match the 907ie balance.
Would be helpful to have these measurements, which I cannot find in the manuals: 1. distance from bottom of handle bar tripple tree to centre of front axle. 2. distance from centre of front axle to ground 3. distance form centre of rear axle to ground 4. any rake angle info different than 906 if you know it. I think 907 is the same frame as 906, so in my thinking if I get 1-3 same measurements are the 907ie then it will be good.
Thanks a lot for any help.

Hi Romus,
I found the next measurements on my 907. 1) centre front axle- underside topclamp ± 780 mm 2) centre front axle - ground ± 288 depending on tire pressure, tire load, wear of the tire. 3) centre rear axle - ground ± 305 depending on ... etc., etc. 4) I'm not sure, but I think the angle rake is the same.
If necessary you can make longer nuts on the top of the tubes, like in the old Honda MT time. Ducbertus

Yes, because I couldn't measure the total lenght of the legs accurately. the handlebars, covering the top of the leg prevents that so, the underside of the upper triple clamp was the easiest for me.
