43mm Forks

Will 43mm forks from a later model firebolt fit in my 03 triples?

negatron, the earlier models had 41 milli's. then they switched to 43 milli's. and the 1125's are 47 milli's. you would need a newer upper and lower triple with clips ons is all. kinda pricey

I thought the only difference in the forks was the inner tube diameter. I thought I remembered that the lower triple might need to be swapped but other than that itd be fine. Just looking for a quick answer.

The upper triple is the same on the 43 and the 41, you need a lower triple only.

not to my knowledge. i know 110% for sure, you cannot with the 1125's 47 millimeter's to my 04 with 41 millimeters, because i had a friend get rear ended, totalled his bike, his forks were fine, i was going to take them but after doing all the research found out i would need the upper and lower triple and didn't have that kind of money to spend. i should have just bought a stock 1125 upper and lower which can be foudn for 100 to 200. just still didn't have money to spend
