stearer tube too short?

lugsey2k5

hello
i currently have a 06 kona dawg and im looking to upgrade the forks to a pair of second hand fox talas. the stearer tube on them is only 190mm and i think mine is about 205mm
is there any way i can make them fit or will this not leave me with enough purchase to get a secure grip in the tube with my headset
thanks for any help you can give

if you fit a lower stack headset and a lower stack stem and lose some spacers you may be OK.

the top of the steerer MUST be above the top stem bolt.
It would be cheaper to get a fork with a steerer that is the length you need.

its a ck headset so yes and there are no spacers so remove. guess i have to keep looking
thanks
