The 17 standard forks are a direct swap for a 14 standard bike. Much better more comfortable ride.
Hi PowerDubs. I believe you and Houtman when you say you've swapped the forks on your 2014 with forks from the 2017 model. But, as stated above, your swap works with the "2014 standard bike", and my bike is a 2014 Dlx. I remember reading a different post, on this forum, where somebody purchased a set of 2017 forks and they didn't fit his bike because (I believe) the brake caliper mounts were different. Houtman, did you perform the fork swap with a 2014 "Standard" (single exhaust), or a 2014 "Deluxe" (dual exhaust)? I am seriously considering the fork swap, but the last thing I want to do is buy the 2017 forks and discover they do not fit the 2014 Dlx model. The part numbers for the calipers are different for the 2014 and 2017 bikes. It appears that PowerDubs performed the swap with a "2014 standard". Houtman, can you please let me know if your swap was performed with a 2014 standard, or a 2014 Dlx? Thank you guys.
Ok, I found the post I was looking for. It was Houtman who posted on a thread titled "2013 ABS forks upgrade: NOT". Here he states that the 2017 forks will not fit a 2013, and "...I will put the forks on the 2014". Houtman, can you please confirm if your fork swap was performed on a 2014 standard, or a 2014 deluxe? Thank you.
