Hi all.

Tried a search on this topic - no results.

I wanted to query the group regarding the length of each fork legs on the t100s. Assuming the internals are all installed in order, and there are no issues with missing washers, a problem with the dampeners, or even something as simple as oil not bled is there a consensus on what the exact difference in length should be? I did not find any references on this in my service or other manuals. I am wondering if the height of the brake side leg should be 1/8, 1/16(?) or other size taller than the drive side leg.

This is for a completely assembled fork. I am attaching a sample photo I found online that illustrates the minor differences in the left and right sliders and their height, along with the overall height being taller on the left side leg pictured. Again, I know this is common for many bikes out there (euro, japanese, etc.) but I just rebuilt my forks entirely and mine show a bit more variance than the ones pictured here. I do not know if they will settle a bit more after I install them on the bike. Anyone have any official specifications??

The variance is in the amount of fork slider tube below the hole for the axle. The length between the axle hole and the top of the slider is the same so makes no difference to the set up.
