They will work but 03 & 04 Xb's have 41mm forks. 05 and up have 43mm forks. I think you just have to change the upper triple tree to make a 43mm work on a 41mm bike. You may have to change both, I can't remember. |

i think the outside diameter for all the XB forks is the same across all years and models, so you should be set. |

Nope the outside Diameter does change but its the Lower triple tree that need to be changed, all the uppers are the same. Also the low / cg models use the smaller forks. |

I knew it was one of them that needed to be swapped. |

So did the 2005 city X also have the larger fork tubes? |
