I have a barley used fs650c but want the offroad suspension and tires. I have a guy with a 2011 fx570 and was wondering if we could swap forks, shocks, front brakes, triples, and wheels. does anyone know if we will run into problems.
you should be fine. the only difference is the angle of the rear shock and therefore what they did to the guts etc to make it work. for instance, an 84 rear spring on my 2002 is stiffish but on my 2009 it is softish.
So the eye to eye shock length is the same on the older bergs as the new ones? If so, I have my eyes on an older Ohlins here localy that a guy has for sale cheap. Perhaps a revalve and a different spring and I will be good to go.
