wp or zokes diameter at clamps?

[Cruiser]

Just real quick,, I know its here somewhere but cant seem to find it in the search,, what are the diameter for the wp and zoke forks,, I believe they are the same,, now I might have a set off a husky to use on my old 97 250 and I need to know if I'm going to have clamp issues or I can use GG clamps?
Thanks,
Steve

upside down units? I was curious and measured mine and my kids last night, there was 1mm differance but I can't remember which one was larger or what they measured. I will check tonight and reply back if someone else doesn't answer your question.

I'm sorry,, yes inverted,, I'm ditching the conventional 45's and going inverted on the 97.. I need to be sure the forks I'm looking at would fit.. I have several sets I'm looking at.. Mostly ktm forks as gasgas forks are a little harder to come by..
Thanks,

Yes, the inverted WP 43's and Shiver 45's are the same. bottom clamp diameter is 57mm, top clamp diameter is 54mm. Guess I wasn't being too careful when I measured last night (and said there was 1mm differance).
Good luck with your changeover!
Jeff.

ps, I love the Zokes on my kids bike!

Thanks,, Now the question,, The ohlins top is the same but what is the bottom?? I have a good deal on zokes from a husky,, they are 54top and 58 bottom.. So do it the dirty way and cut 1 more mm out of the bottom clamps? or find other bottoms,, or do the fork bodies have enough to spin down 1 mm? The husky axle is real close to the gg axle.. Might even be closer than the ktm axle.. so do the 43wp off a ktm and play with axle issues or go with the husky and have clamp issues??
