I would imagine so, even though this is speculation, i.e. I haven't
actually tried it. The bikes are so similar mechanically, I would think
it'd be possible. Triumph advertises both as having 43mm cartridge
forks...

However, I wonder if it'd really provide as much bang for your buck as
getting the front worked on by someone else. I don't think anyone
considers the stock front fork components to be the best quality. (No
offense!) I'm eagerly waiting for all the RaceTech goodies to get
installed on my ST this Saturday. Paul Master has had his forks worked
on by Lindeman, and we're getting together (along with other Bay Area
folks) to compare. Should be fun -- and enlightening! We'll let everyone
know how it goes, and with any luck Matt Knowles will bring his camera
equipment and capture a few photographs as well.
