That was harder to find than I expected. In the type certificate Aircraft Specification A-787, Specifications Pertinent to All Models, I found the following: Main gear brakes and tires both have distance from datum of +44." Nose gear tire has distance from datum of -16." It does not give separate numbers for single fork vs. double fork nose gears. Though the double fork gear is a bit longer, the difference is mostly in the vertical direction -- the extra extension to the front (away from the datum) is probably way less than a half inch. I'm curious -- could you post the weight and center of gravity when you get done, please? -- Ed Burkhead Peoria, Ill.
