I was wondering if any body has done an inverted fork conversion on a 01 m2 cyclone. I just got a set of inverted forks. I know I will have to change the tripple trees I was wondering what else might need to be changed.

You may be lucky that the steering stem is the same between models (likely is). I'd think the front brakes are the same between models, in which case the swap should be straight forward.

Get a hold of parts manuals for your bike and the model you got the forks from and compare #s. If they don't match you've got your work cut out for you.

Axle diameter size and length perhaps?

You will need a fender from a X1 (or S3). Replace the stearing head bearings while you're in there.
