how feasible is it to lower a 06 uly & fit the later X front end with a tighter turning radius. i really like a a uly i test rode, but strongly desire changing those two things about the bike.
suggestions really appreciated!

Search feature is your friend - many posts out there on both. Several have pics of triple tree swap, which is easily done. The other is just a matter of how low and how many $$

IIRC there is an issue with the steering lock, nothing insurmountable and well documented when you find the thread.

Here are the part numbers for the upper and lower trees:
J0105.3AKYBD UPPER
J0106.3AKYBD LOWER


Cheers, Will
