Hi
I've been a lurking around for a while, but your thread finally prompted me to register...!

I've got an 05 ec200 - and might fit Ohlins forks to it - since I rushed out and bought some...
Both triple clamps are different and genuine clamps are available since Ohlins were an option - at least in 05 - I assume earlier models would be the same.

I haven't sourced some yet, to see if they fit ok, but I believe recent model honda CR / CRF triple clamps are the right size for the Ohlins forks. I've done some quick measurements and they seem the right size for the forks. The stem is a different size, so you would need to try to fit the gasgas stem to the honda triple clamps. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has done this.

I bought some forks that were intended for a cannondale. My installation efforts stalled as the end caps for mounting brakes and for the axel were also obviously different to the gasser.... Must get back to it though - Can anyone tell me if it worth the effort???

Richo
