Hey guys I have just installed my new F4i rear shock and still need to do the front forks. I was wondering if I can drop in F4i forks as easily as the rear??? Thanks

 

The F4 forks are a different diameter than the F2, so you need to swap the entire front end, not just the forks. I am not sure if the triple clamps are compatable, or if you will have enough room since the larger forks also make the spacing wider.
If it were me I would just get late model ( 94) F2 or F3 forks

 

Thanks man, I thought that there would be issue's with the caliper bolts but I guess I did not consider the triple clamps. I would rather get into F3 forks, than getting into F4i forks, if it can be done much more efficient.

 

The F4i front wheel is different, the rotors are a different size

 

I JUST PUT THE F4I REAR SHOCK ON MY BIKE AS WELL ITS LOOKING SWEET BUT I BELIEVE THE FRONT F4I SHOCKS ARE INVERTED SO THEY WONT FIT I KNOW THEY WONT FIT BUT IM NOT TO SURE ABOUT THEM BEING INVERTED YOU CAN LOOK AND SOME1'S F4I ON HERE AND WILL BE ABLE TO TELL

 

After carefull consideration I will be rebuilding my front forks with racetech springs and thicker fluid. I weigh in at 243pnds witch is 43pnds overweight for the stock setup. by having the F4i rear shock it also transfers more weight to the front as you all know. The reason for not pursuing newer model shocks is that they appear to be rare to get a hold of and would most likely require a rebuild anyway.
