Pretty much as title.

I have some fox f120s that now on the bike appear a little long and may throw the geometry out. Is it possible to modify them to say 100mm? Preferably cheaply and easily?

Otherwise I might hve to sell them and get some f80s which may be too short!

Yes it can definitely be done. I think you just shift the internal spacers around

Yup you can do it you will need to fit a 20mm spacer to the negative spring

I don't have 'f' series forks, but on floats, it's just a question of opening up the LH leg and fitting a 20mm spacer. I assume they're fairly easy to get hold of - I just fitted an old one that came out of an ancient vanilla. (Might have another if you need it, but can't check until friday).

EDIT - pretty much what everyone else just said...

Can this be done with the F series? I thought it was just the Floats? Killer can you post up if you do it? Thanks.
