hi gents. I took the forks out for a real good clean of everything associated with the front, before removing I took pics on my phone. As my friends will verify I’m a slow worker. When all clean and ready to refit went to the phones pictures and nothing there. Took me a day to realise that I had replaced that phone cause it locked up and I’d not been able to back things up. A few lessons there hehe anyway now to the point of the question How far out should they stick and where is the measurement taken, the second part is not as stupid as it seems. The top yoke slopes. A pic or two would be real helpful
This pic from the manual might help you. 244mm measured from the top of the bottom yoke to the top of the fork tubes.
