Hi, I am in the market for a set of '03 XB forks minus trees. I was wondering how much should I pay for a set? Thanks |

Forks are often damaged in wrecks so they tend to be hard to find in mint condition. I picked up a set for $250 a few years back on ebay. I assume you are putting them on a tuber, hence you want the 03, just an FYI the 04 forks are also the same size. |

What makes the '03s workable for the tuber? |

Thanks Froggy, good to know. Yup gonna put them on a M2. These should just be a direct swap, right. I thought I read somewhere the lower M2 triple trees won't work. Then I read they do. Can you tell me for sure? Thanks |

I can't tell you jack. If your bike has a carburetor, I try to maintain a 50' distance at all times! |

you can use x1 tripples but it lowers the front end by about 3" easiest way is to use xb tripples, and press in the tuber steering stem. I think you have to counter bore the bottom and top like a tuber tripple. |
