Just picked up a 04 Bullit and want to put my 8 inch 888 on it. SC website says bike takes up to 7 inch fork. Anyone have this combo? If so hows it ride? Should I send forks in and have them made to 7 inch? Help!!

Use the search...I saw a photo and a mini review of someone who had a Bullit set up like that. I don't think he liked it, but I could be wrong, it was sometime ago.samich457 said:
Don't listen to Jm_, what you really want is a Boxxer :devil:

it says that the '04 can now handle up to 8 inches in the front, but the 888 is really tall so you might be happier with it at 7 inches

anyone know why they say 8 inches under details but under the main bullit page it says up to 178mm??
i've got an 03 bullit with a triple 8 8in.......I LOVE IT!!!!
If you want a 8" 888, consider going with the Risse or Go-Ride crowns, with that setup its about a 1/2" taller than a 7" Boxxer.

now i think that keeping the 888 in the 8 is the best option, but deffintly think about the risse or go-ride crowns so the headangle won't be too slack
Here's something to think about, if it says "for 7" fork", but you install a 7" fork with the height of 8", does the universe start spinning backwards?
This is why I am not a fan of people referring to fork heights measured by their travel, as axle-crown is alot more relevant with issues such as angles and leverage.
