front forks

Hey,

Are the ohlins forks from the multistrada not beter tho mount on the hyper
We can change the tripples and fork botoms for radial callipers and have beter suspension than stock marzocchi.
Is this a good idea or bad idea.

Need some coments.

This is a bad idea. THe Ohllns on the Multi have longer travel. Buy some new cartridges instead. There are several solutions out there.

Why is longer travel necessarily a bad thing? Are the forks themselves longer as well, then I can see your point.. Don't the 2010 Hypers have more travel and longer forks?

Karlr is only 5'2" tall ... so longer travel is bad for him

The Hypermotard cannot handle longer travel, you need the bigger tank for that

I meant longer not longer travel...however...longer forks would kick ut the front even more which on what is essentially a road bike isn't that great an idea
