R6 5eb front end onto 3TJ?

[nick]

Noticed that theres a 3TJ in the for sale section thats running a 5eb front end. Anyone know how easy this is to do?

Not too difficult if you can get the 3TJ stem off to fit onto the 5EB yokes. Some I've seen have been welded into place on the 3TJ yoke for some reason

You need to use the 3TJ stem because the 5EB has a slightly larger stem, I'm only talking 1mm at the most. Although the bottom thread is the same.

I thought the forks were to long leaving them sticking through the yokes quite a way

Depends what you call too long

They don't quite touch the screen which is ok for a race bike but not great on a roadbike

Hmmm....

So, its do-able then.....

I assume you need the whole front end, wheel, spindle, calipers etc.........?

Yes you need it all - just looks a bit silly.
