RD350 N Stanchions
Hi all, having a bit of trouble finding some tubes for a 350n, any links or advise would be great, plenty on ebay but listed mainly by year. The part no. on the lowers is Y106-L SA-1 air valves at top and a variable damper sticker on lowers, i believe they are the same as F1? is this correct? and are there any others that are the same. Cheers Bill

Re: RD350 N Stanchions
Bill. I had 5 sets of forks in my basement so I have some experience with how they appear although maybe not how they properly operate. I beleive all of the 1983-90 forks had air nipples on the top.
The Early 83-85USD ones have the bolt location for the front fender perp to the fork legs and about a third of the way down the tubes. The air nipple on the top is at an approx 45 degree angle.
The 96-90 forks have the fender bolts parallel to the legs and at the top. The air nipple is oriented in the same direction as the fork tubes. 83-85 are all the same as are 86-90.
OffRoad has swapped between the inners in these things so he may have info to that regard.

Re: RD350 N Stanchions
And there you have it....
That 83 fork looks odd with the top of the sliding tube machined. Never seen one like that!

Thanks for your replies
Re: RD350 N Stanchions
The later RZ forks (1986 on?) do not have threaded fork caps.
They have a circlip to retain the caps just like the 4L0 RDLC did.
