Yes and no....

Just measured them:

749R Ohlins:
Fork body (gold bit) L = 500mm
Top of Fork Body to spindle C/L = 685mm

996 Showa:
Fork body (gold bit) L = 480mm
Top of Fork Body to spindle C/L = 685mm

Hope this helps.

Ricky is that preloaded with them in the bike

Out of the bike I measured mine as

998S Ohlins:
Fork body (gold bit) L = 500mm
Top of Fork Body to spindle C/L = 720mm

748 Showa:
Fork body (gold bit) L = 480mm
Top of Fork Body to spindle C/L = 720mm

Kev,

Yes, I measured them preloaded in bike(s). I'm afraid that I am not as dedicated as you as I didn't take them out to measure them!! ;->

Not dedication just measured the ones lined up in my hall way, I just haven't got any 749/999 forks about at the moment
