Hi Les,
Fork spring is the same.
Andover Norton - FRONT FORK SPRING (NM18813) - 06.7723
FRONT FORK SPRING (NM18813)andover-norton.co.uk
damper body length are 7.75 for Atlas and 9.125 for Commando.
If i want use Commando damper in Atlas fork, works if i reduce the rod of the same measure of 1,375?.
Hi.Atlas /commando travel
fork travel- 6.15/ 6.15 is the stanchion travel inside the BARE fork leg only . no springs no damper body no rod !!!
Which stanchions you gona use? commando?
The atlas bike will have a high "chopper" front end due to the long damper body but the modified shorter rods will top out and restrict full travel.
Very foolish exercise....Think before you do this!!!
The damper BODY controls the ride height....unless you also modify the spring length .
I have the complete Atlas forks (have short stanchions and springs), but not the dampers.
So that i would fit the Commando dampers that i have.
What i must do to use the Commando dampers with stock Atlas stanchions?.
You say that Atlas dampers are long 7.75.
Andover supply the 7 5/8: are they the Atlas dampers?.
So that i would fit the Commando dampers that i have.
If i understand i can short the commando dampers of 3,2 cm?.It would increase the fork 'extended length' to that of a Commando fork and increase 'ride height' by the additional length of the damper assembly (approximately 1.375" as the forks are not vertical). The shorter Atlas stanchions would mean the standard springs would become coil-bound before the fork reached full compression, therefore, in my opinion, the Commando damper tubes need to be shortened or correct length dampers used.
According to AN, the Commando damper body is 8 7/8" (I actually make it nearer 8 15/16") so it seems they haven't included the stub on the bottom in their measurements as the overall length of the Commando damper tube is approximately 9 1/8" (9.125").
