A question about early 650/750 GT front forks please: Does someone kow and confirm that the very early 650/ 750 GT were equipped with 565 mm front fork tubes and short metal shrouds while the later models (1969) were equipped with 585mm tubes and long shrouds? Thanks in advance
 
If Mr "Google" Marx doesn t know, Phil Trotter (Saultrader) on ILOC may well know JLO, mine has longer ones on.
 
I don't know.
Jean-Louis has already asked.
All I could come up with was 585, but there are 2 lengths of metal shrouded forks, and 2 lengths of metal shroud, therefore.

Marnix is our last hope, unless people with dismantled forks get out with a tape measure.

Phil has  pretty good knowledge on GT /750 differences and has a lot of stuff stowed away.! Worth a try if Marnix doesn"t come up trumps.
 
When the first ?featherbed style? frame of the GT was abandoned and replaced by the stiffer frame of the S, longer stanchions and shrouds were employed.
This pretty much matches the lengths you mentioned, JLO.

There you go then.

For sale:
GT frame, engine, wheels, carbs, tank and side panels, headlight, with 565mm forks and shrouds.
