Default RMZ fork swap

Hi,

Putting together a bitsa on a budget (04 EC250 frame and 07 EC250 motor with the odd dash of 98 EC250 for good measure ) and am fitting a set of RMZ250 forks. Reason being I managed to pick up a pair of unused 2011 forks for ?150 on ebay and couldn't get zokes for anywhere near that.

The 47mm Showa RMZ legs are 55mm upper and 58.5mm lowers. The 04 GG triples I have are going to the machine shop next week to be bored out from the standard 54mm/57mm to suit. I noticed from a previous thread that someone had gone down a similar route but had fitted a new stem into the RMZ triples so the mod was reversible. The issue is that I don't have the RMZ triples and can't get access to any for measurements. What I really need to know is the distance between fork centres for the RMZ so I can decide whether to try and adapt a GG wheel assembly or go with a complete RMZ front end.

I currently have no axle, wheel or brake components.

Does anyone have access to an '11 RMZ to take the measurement for me?

Cheers,

Rob
