A couple of years ago I purchased a very nice and pristine Yo Eddy fork with a 1" threaded steerer and planned on putting it on my '91 Monster in a future restore.
The other day I ran across Rody's thread that described the different forks and he said suspension corrected BOI forks should be 15.9375" (axle to crown), Yo Eddy Forks are 15.5"' for standard suspension. In checking my Yo Eddy Fork it too measures 15.9375" which would make this suspension corrected I guess... a rather big surprise to me. Does this seem right?? I didn't know to ask about the length when I purchased the fork and now have a dilemma. I don't think it works on the Monster....so I either sell or trade for a standard Yo fork, or find a suspension corrected YO and put it on that. Question: Is there a particular year where they started producing Yo's with suspension corrected geometry?? I think I read somewhere that it was optional on some years....if so how can you check geometry to confirm? Any comments would be appreciated. Last edited by rthomer; July 20th, 2010 at 2:36 PM.

My guess would be 1993 and up |

If you find any problem riding your Monster with that fork I think you're being way to fussy about it, and over thinking the situation.

Yep, 93 and up were slightly longer than 90-91-92. There is a good thread on RBUK with photos and lengths of various forks. Are you sure you are measuring right? My 93 is (if I recall) more like 410mm. In any case, I agree that difference won't matter all that much. So ride it!
If it feels off, keep an eye out for another ![]() |

Maybe the best thing is to build it, ride it, if it's fine then consider paint later. Thanks... |
