    Hello all
    Lots of SM's floating around out there for a cheeper price than a TE and wondered what is involved in converting the SM forks and shock to TE speck, I have the brakes figured out just need the fork and shock info, I guess the SM is less travel and maybe valved different?

    Lots of great deals on the SM but I do not want to give up any suspension travel as the bike will see lots of off road.

    Thanks

    I converted my 08 SM to a TE for the verry same reason and have no issues with the SM suspension travel. In fact side by side the travel is close or the same as my 07 TE250. Perhaps you ride more agresive than me?

    I did the same thing to my 08 SM and I had Les revalve and respring the suspension to match my weight and riding style. Les is a top notch guy and he will set you up right. I have had no problems with it after the change and for me the shorter suspension worked better because I'm a short guy anyway:thumbsup:
