    Apart from the colours, any differences between the forks?

    Want to get rid of brown lowers, so looking to fit the rr6/7 ones in my 04.
    Thanks!

    They are slightly different, the 06/07 are different where the calipers joins so the can take the spacer for the bigger discs.
    I found this out when looking at using the 06 spacers on my 05
    Basically when you take the calipers off the 05 has a male end and if you were to look at the 06 without its spacer it will have a female one if that makes sense

    Nope I had to get some ones that would made for the 05.
    To be honest prob cheaper just to powdercoat the current ones
