Hi to All,
I have recently completed my fork swap. The aim was to fit Showa 47mm TC forks to my 02 EC300 without butchering anything and still being able to go back to the WP 43mm forks if required.
I am very happy with the result; it rides nice and high up in the stroke, glides over trail trash and seems to work better together with the Ohlins back shock, which I have just serviced.
