Come on folks any info would be helpful

If the fork stanctions are the same diameter (I think they were but had the yoke offset changed) then you won't actually need to change the yokes, just the fork legs themselves. (providing that the clamping area on the forks is ok). Make sure that you check the unladen height before you go makeing changes so you can make sure you stick with that, to much difference and the handling will be crap. (to slow or too twitchy)
