Title: Will '01 Tiger forks fit an '06...?
Post by: stopwatch1 on July 22, 2014, 08:07:02 AM
Does anyone know if the forks off an '01 Tiger will fit an '05 or '06? Everything looks the same (spacers, caliper mounting, speedo hub, etc.) between the two.

Thanks!

Honest answer I haven't done it but I'd be amazed if it wasn't a straight swap,I've seen an 885i with the latter 955 swing arm and wheels in.

I would be surprised if it works.  As I understand it, Triumph changed the head angle when they switched to the cast wheels.

What has the head angle got to do with the forks  :icon_scratch:

I was thinking something was a little different with the wheel or brake mounting?  I didn't think you could do a straight swap between the cast and spoked wheel.  Been a while so I really don't know.

I've made the swap ad the answer is yes. Spoke wheel girlies have 1" longer forks than "06 girlies, but the forks from the spoke wheel girlies are a perfect fit for the cast wheel models. The rear swingarm difference is what makes it impossible to do a spoke to cast or visa-versa rear wheel swap.
