Does anybody know if any of the full adjustable Showa forks (from a S2R or S4R) will fit my 96 M900 with or w/out changing the tree?

Who cares... just change the tree as well... why not? Because I don't want to switch to clip-ons for this bike.

I haven't checked the dimensions yet. I think they are smaller than the new stuff tho. I got to rip around on a S4R this past weekend and till then, I hadn't even realized how dated the suspension on my bike is.

I found the cheaper/simpler alternative. I just need to get the race kit for my forks and wallaa.
