Been thinking about upgrading the Firebolt to a stiffer fork, being a 2004 with the 41mm forks. Anyone ever done the swap? Are the steering head bearings the same? What about the spacing between them? Looks like the list of parts would include the forks, top and bottom triple clamps. Does anyone have the part numbers for the 1125 ones? Thanks in advance!

No need.

If you MUST get stiffer forks because you're racing, you can get all you need in the 43mm - you will only need the bottom triple for that.

Thanks, it does seem to be the easier upgrade, since I have a modified upper triple clamp.
