Just wondering if they are compatible... | ||

Yes and no. They fit, (I have 47mm 1125R forks in 43mm Uly trees), but they weren't designed for that chassis. | ||

Thats my bike in the thread above. I called and talked with the tech guys at EBR and they told me the 1125R forks and trees bolt right up and have no issues. They also told me NOT to put them into uly trees because the center bore is different and even though you can "force" them into the trees, they will be binding against each other and can be very dangerous. Steering stops work fine, tree bolt worked fine. Fender bolts and brake line clap are now metric, so you will need new bolts for those. Everything else is a direct swap. | ||

Thank you Dean, I was told it was bad about a year after I did it, but not told about the trees. I tried to use the 1125R trees but they aren't compatible with the Uly/Long frame. | ||

What's different about the neck of the uly frame? The stops? Careful pushing that bike to hard. I would take the trees to a machine shop and see what they can do about the center bore (Message edited by Deanh8 on March 05, 2012) | ||

Yes, they are inverted, so the only way to get them to work would be to grind the stops off the tree. I don't track that bike, my XB is too boring to ride regularly, and it isn't dependable enough for commuting duty anymore. It comes out of the garage once in a while if I know I won't be going far. |
