I just bought a chrome one from these folks https://www.niagaracycle.com/ and it is near identical to the fork that was on my Sports Tourer. Do a forks search and you will find the fork. About $24 with shipping. Roger

I'm not good with being sure it would be long enough
would this work if I use spacers because it says threads are longer than what i need.

I bought that same fork for my Aerospace Pro and simply hacksawed off the extra threaded length.

Would it effect it even if it is 10 mm longer than what I need?

im having trouble finding it but when I needed an OEM fork I got one that was internally lugged... it was really beautiful (much nicer then the welded ones mentioned) but didnt cost that much more. I had my local bike shop order it from a catalog so its not that hard to find in theory (i think even from the bike shop it was $50... so would be a bit cheaper online).

only ten? it would certainly work with a few spacers. I would never cut a fork that short unless the customer demanded it. even then I would try and talk them out of it. IMHO cutting a fork limits your HS choice plus gives you more room to raise the stem.

I had a couple inches of extra threads so I cut it to match the EOM fork length.

Mine was also 10 mm long and three or four extra head set washers solved the problem and allowed me to raise the stem an extra 10 mm which was a plus for me. Roger
