Sorry for the confusion regarding my comment about being 25mm. After spending as much time as I did on the parts sourcing for the conversion, I just began to think of the forks and wheels in terms of axle size. As far as wheels go the important thing would be the bottom leg of the forks and what size axle they require. Of course my shivers are 45mm like the rest of them and they take a 25 mm axle. The KTM takes a 26mm axle. The Husky a 25. Most other bikes take a 20mm axle. The few remaining use a 17mm axle. The GG also uses the Ohlin forks and for some reason I thought they might be 20mm(again,axle size). If they are than the conversion using those forks might be easier because of the greater choice of fitable wheels and the ability to re-bearing any of the larger sizes to 20mm.
