a question to all boxxer riders/knowers since 2002
i've ridden my 2002 boxxer WC (the one with the golden(TiNi) stanchions)
a whole 4 years now-just changed oil from time 2 time
now it's time to switch (...to whiskey, we've been drinkin beer all night ) ...to a new 2006 boxxer which now has completely been renewed in all of it's parts since the 2002 model.
my question is if i can use the golden 2002 stanchions in the new 2006 team?
thx in advance

nope the 2006 stanchions are longer I believe

My question- how do you own a fork for 3-4 years and not have messed up stanchions

 

[vitox]

they arent longer, as long as its a straight wall (should be) you could always give it a shot, it only depends on the wall thickness.

youll have to keep the top caps too.

my guess is that it will work but i wouldnt bet on it.

but, hmmm, matte black lowers and flashy gold stanchions?

 

[MOTODH]

why do you want to do that? the team looks great stock

 

[boozy1976]

it is winter and you sit @ home looking at your bike thinking
sometimes this results in really bad ideas
this time i don't know

if i have to use the old top caps i can forget it because i have use the MoCon cap on the right stanchion...

arn't the actual outside diameter of the stachions larger on the new fork?

arn't the actual outside diameter of the stachions larger on the new fork?
