Chuck,
  Stock 1972 Six Day forks are 32mm.....are you looking for 32mm or 35mm?

If you need 32mm I have a set. $40.00 plus shipping. I do not have an extra set of triple clamps. I do have a couple of front wheels if interested.

I was looking for 35mm forks. Currently have 32mm. I was thinking the 35mm are more durable. Any truth to that?

My 32mm forks work very well. I doubt that most could tell the difference. I am running 7 1/2 wt fork oil.

Chuck,
I agree with Dwight on the 32's working great. I have a set of 35's on the shelf but dont care to add any extra weight however slight it may be.

In 2005 I did bend my set of 32's doing jumps at Gainesville that were not meant to be classic bike material. I bent them back with a press and still love the same set of 32's.

I do recommend helper preload springs. If you only get around 6 inches of travel dont go losing any just because you sat on the bike. Let the bumps move your forks. But I guess it all depends what kind of racing/riding you are setting up for and how agressive you ride.
