Will 3EN forks fit a 3TJ??
Hi All
Can any one tell me if 3EN Forks will fit on a 3TJ without the need to modify any thing??
I think both forks are 43mm diameter??

3EN2 are deffo 41mm
wrap some clingfilm, or tinfoil around the forks where the yokes go to take up the 2mm slack and it'll be fine.
of course, legally if someone did that, and died, on the basis of this forum entry I'd be sued, so let me make it clear - that it was a joke* and in no way a recommendation for fitting undersized forks into a set of yokes.
*well, like a joke, just not as funny...

just before you ask ... early R6 are longer than the TJ ... and you'd need the wheel and brakes
