120 forks on a Kona Hei Hei 100?

As it says it the title really.
I'm going to buy some new forks soon to replace the Recons, is there any reason why the frame may not support more travel? I'm after a slacker head angle as with the 100mm Recons it feels like i'm too far over the front end!

check with Kona

20mm wont make a massive diff to the dimensions of the frame

i added 10mm to my front end and it changed the wheelbase by 6mm and the reach by 4mm

if you feel you are too far over the front end, change your stem

you could also try moving your seat back a bit

will stretch you out more, but may be enough to move your position back a bit

I just swapped my 105mm MX Bomber for a 120mm Reba. What an upgrade!!

As I just wrote on another post it looks, feels and most importantly rides like a new bike! Fantastic stuff

Climbing on a couple of VERY steep sections the front end did want to come up more than I'm used to but a small price to pay because everywhere else it's a load better. Well worth it
