Hey there,

Anyone know if I can fit new internals into my old '03 boxxer lowers and stantions?

Cheers,

I'm gonna say no on that one.

Curious to know why you would entertain the thought.

A young dude here told me he has such a frankin fork and I could have it cheap.

The difference in travel alone is likely to make it impossible.

The 7inch boxxer just sets my bike up for the perfect geometry but I can't get along with the old damping.

it wouldn't fit, the stanchions are a different length and the lowers have bigger holes in them at the bottom which mean you wouldn't be able to secure the cartridges in place. An other thing is that the bushings are designed differently, if you were running an air cartridge then not enough oil would get to the top bushing causing a premature wear of the stanchion and bushing. the newer bushings have a grooved lower bushing, the older ones don't.

didnt know nsmb was only for pros

its not, its only for dicks.

From tftuned website:

Can I fit Motion Control in pre '06 Boxxers?
You can add Motion Control damping to any Boxxer from '03 [HTML_REMOVED] dump of all the plastic! (No more rebound failures) If you have a '03 or '04 Boxxer it will have 7" of travel [HTML_REMOVED] '05 keeps 8". If you want 8" on '03/'04 then you need to add '08 lower leg assemblies (
