swapping HR to full height
Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2005 12:20 am
Brian and I swapped full height suspension for HR today, here are my observations for you other guys that want to do the same.
the rear shock body is the same, stroke is shorter, I would bet there is a spacer inside that can be removed to make the shock full height,
the dogbones are the same.
the front fork internals are different, cannot make them full height, But...
the 45mm Marzocchi Magnum was used on KTM's in the mid 90's, until they switchen to WP forks. they can be had on e-bay for cheap.

$150 after shipping for the forks, bolt in. repair shock and have serviced $100-150. lengthen kick stand. you are done.
