Just pulled the RH off my 1949 500T,

TYPEFITTED TOLENGTHManx20.375"Short Roadholder21.843"Long Roadholder23.312"Commando23.161"

I was going to fit new bushes etc. On inspection I will now replace the stanchions. These measure 23 1/4 inches. The list for RHs on this board list as above as you can see no 23 1/4. How ever I found ones the right size part No 30457. Have I got the correct ones in my 500T, if not what should be fitted. Thanks

Just to complicate things I think the early Long Roadholders had a different thread on the bottom nut than later Long ones. I met this when replacing my stanchions a few years ago. Suggest you identify the thread first and speak to the supplier. If their stanchions have a different thread you may have to buy matching nuts as well. In my case the supplier (Norvil) was able to exchange the stanchions for the correct ones.
