they have 35mm forks just like Cb450, Cb750, xs650, etc....
CB750 are a little longer. Cb750F are 35mm too but even longer.
CB450 are same length i believe.
what are you trying to accomplish? just need some forks that aren't rusted or bent? or looking for something longer?

ok, thanks. my friend has a bike in his garage thats his uncles which im trying to get possibly. I knew it was a old cb xxx four, i asked about it and he said it was a 78' 500, i knew honda went from the 500 to 550 but couldnt remember the year. So its a possibility that its a 550 i guess. When you reffere to the 35mm is the the width or diameter its shaft that goes into the frame, or just the width/diameter of the fork. I not really looking to extend too much, i might just try to accomplish a little extension with raking it out a little more, nothing major. I thought it would be neat to able to put a newer set of forks say from a cbr f2,f3 or something. Maybe give it a little more mass in the front. Have any ideas? I heard that suzuki dz400 dual sport forks will fit but i dont know for sure
