I did buy all the parts for the swap. It took me a while cause I bought all second hand parts minus the headlight which is expensive. The reason why I did not put them on my bike is the headlight just did not look right as it is massive. Also there is not much rake in the trees so adding rake adds to the cost with the trees. Plus once you rake it the freight train headlight points up so I didn't see the benefit of the added cost. You can use your stock 41 mm fork tubes but they are 2 inches longer so I would suggest getting the shorter ones with a lowering kit if you are running a 21+ inch wheel.

No I sold them all once I made my decision. Most of the parts I bought off eBay
