Front fork dimensions Bmw R35

[matximbrat]

Hello, sorry to writte in english.

I have a R35 prewar fork and my friend another one. But they are not exactly equals. About the rod diameter is 28mm on the left fork and 26mm in the right fork.

I think that the common dimension is 28mm, but does know someone why is 26mm on the right fork?

Regards,

It seems to me that 26 is a pre-war, but maybe someone else is terminated

I have the same problem, The braking force and torque Gives more worn I think.
My plan is to modify A EMW forkend with new bushes.
The EMWforkend have the same dimensions, you must cut off the outer bushes.

Dear hpnbobo,

I don't understand what means "The braking force and torque Gives more worn I think". Because of braking force, diamater can't change.

Does someody knows what is the EMW fork diameter?

Regards,

Ricard

28mm  wymiar nominalny a 26mm oznacza że było naprawiane poprzez szlifowanie

EMW and postwar BMW are 28 mm, you can not buy bushes for A 26 mm fork.
26 mm is homemade, or prewar?

[matximbrat]

I think that 26mm is from factory...

Te cieńsze mogą być od R20 lub R23 (tak słyszałem) ale ponieważ w rękach nie miałem takiego zawieszenia to tylko sugestia nie pewnik.

George, it could be a possibility. But that R35 comes from Romania, and R20&R23 probably didn't been sold in Romania.

I have measured the EMW and postwar r35 forks, size new is 27,5 mm.
bushes are 27.7 mm.
The worn leg was between 26.6 and 26,9  mm. (RH leg)

Very thanks hpnbobo for your helpful information.

Has someone a prewar fork?
