Hi people, does anyone know the proper hole spacing for the risers in the top yoke for a dax. I bought some cool forks the other day and when i bolt the risers on theres only about ten mm between them and iv got no other forks or standard top plate t o compare them. Hope somone can help :D

Hi,
The hole centres in the top alloy plate on a 1972 DAX is 166mm-- i.e. this is the plate that the handlebars bolt to.
Your term risers does not mean anything to me but hope this helps.

HI AGAIN
Further thoughts--- The 166 mm is the distance between the two bolts that connect the fork stanchions to the top alloy plate.
The hole centres that the handlebar clamps pass through are angled outwards (from the riding position) and measure approx 93 mm near the rider to 102 mm at the notches which the handlebars locate in.
Hope this helps.
