RE: F2-F3 interchangability
F3 forks must have with them in order to work:
F3 fender \
F3 wheel > ---- These 3 must go together,these are not interchageable with F2
F3 calipers / front end parts
Exceptions are listed below*.
I recommend using an F3 lower triple clamp when doing this changeover
*Now,you can use F3 internals in F2 forks,with some small modifications to the F2 dampening rod uppers.All cartridge uppers will swap.
*The F3 fork leg uppers and internals will fit F2 fork leg lowers.
Make sure you use new seals when re-doing suspension.Use OEM seals,they are the best.
