Do straight 1 1/8 steerer 650b forks exist?

I'm hoping so, just haven't seen and suspension options and wondering if I'll need to customise some forks?

I've got some rock shox did/Reba csu (dual air), and wondering if a solo air lower leg will be fine mated to them?

Re:

Cheers. I'm thinking I may need to make one, as straight steerers seem to be a thing of the past. Either that or go rigid.

It's for a ti frame, so want something nice. Budget isn't high sadly.
 
Re:

I have an X-Fusion Velvet on my 650b which is a great fork. They do pop up on eBay now and then.

I've also seen a few 650b straight steerer Reba's show up on there.
 
Re:

I'd probably prefer a Reba as I know my way around them and have a few spares.

As far as I'm aware, the CSU on a 26, 27.5 and 29 Reba is the same, and I have a couple of them to play with. I can get my hands on a new 27.5 solo air lower leg assembly. I believe the solo air is CSU not lower leg dependent so these should work. I just need to figure out what length of rebound and air dampers I'll need. Anyone have any ideas here? Pretty sure I have some 100mm 29er parts so I'd guess these would make the 27.5 slightly longer travel wise than 100mm?

My other slightly unknown is that the csus I have are older than the lower legs by a year or two. The od should still be the same, so hoping that I can slot something together.
