I know several that tried it.....most had the same result as Zonker. Definitely could be a safety issue and not recommended.

Just so you know.......the 1100 and 650 fork tubes are almost identical. What threads into a 650 tube will thread into an 1100 tube. So it can be done.......i just know I'd never do it after seeing all the failures. 

I went with longer tubes from Frank's Forks a number of years ago. Never had an issue.

Thanks Mick,

there don’t seem to be anywhere in the UK to get longer forks so I can import them from the States, I think I will do it that way.

Much appreciated,
