Fork swap - KTM SCM forks mounted on LC4 640e - doable?

Queen of Spades · 01-29-2013, 05:15 AM

Found a local seller with some SMC 48mm forks among other goodies. He doesn't have the front wheel anymore - apparently just the forks & triple tree.

1) Will these forks/triple tree bolt on to a 99 LC4 640 enduro (factory conventional forks)?
2) Do they provide the same travel?

EDIT
Looks like this isn't going to work after all.. I'm reading that the SMC forks had less travel than its Enduro 690 brethren. I wouldn't mind increasing the ride height (tall chicka), but I definitely don't want to shorten anything. ref: http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/769...o-differences/
