it hasn't been done before. You'll also need the x front brake caliper and disc.
The forks a different, different wheel travel, different caster angles, trail. I would say stay with the r fork. Unless you want to spend some serious money, than go for a WP fork with the OTR custom clamp. Then you need also a new handlebar+brake caliper+front wheel (Excel). On the back than you need to lift the bike with link raisers and put a Ohlings shock (if possible the Ohlings for a XTZ > bigger travel). This is already done by another forum member and make the bike looking great but more important, much better suspension ;) |

I'm in for the same mod here, excel 17 inch 3,5 with an R-disc on R-forks and R-brake caliper. I mounted the rim today with stock spacers on the wheel axle and it kinda fits. I'ts roughly 6 mm offset towards the caliper. Havent got a tire on it and it will probably be tight and i'll have to remove the mud guard. Any one run this setup without custom spacers? :) Edit: Spacers needed are 15-6=9mm and 27,5+6=33,5~33mm or just add one of 6mm. Cheers! |
