Has anyone taken a 1125 front end (triples & forks) and put them into a XB frame? is this possible?

thanks

Forks and upper tree, yes, lower tree no due to a difference in the frame.

Thanks for the reply. Can you use a 1125 upper triple, 1125 forks and XB lower triple? or how about this is there ANY way to get 1125 forks on a XB?

Yes you can do that, I run the XB 06 Ulysses/SS trees with the 1125R forks. I do have an 1125R upper tree sitting on the shelf, it is on my list of things to do, but being that I would need to futz around with rerouting and possibly replacing cables I stuck with the stock Uly/SS tree for now. : )

Due note, the 1125R have 47mm forks while most XB's are 43mm or 41mm. The 47mm forks did fit in my 43mm trees, but it did take some persuasion.

Froggy, Mark XB forks 05 and older where 44mm at the top of triple tree, and 44mm at the bottom of the triple tree.Forks on 06 and newer XBs where 44mm at the top of the triple tree and 44mm at the bottom of the triple tree. Take it easy jake

I'm confused. Sounds like they are the same to me??

Aren't the 09 XB forks the same size as an 1125r's forks?

Rat I dont believe so, I think the 1125 has 47mm, xb 43, earlier xb's have 41.

Fork sizes quotes the diameter of the lower leg. Not the outter.

So if someone were wanting to put 1125 forks on an XB... What would they need?

For reference I have stock '04 parts on an '04 Firebolt right now.
