What Voodoo and what forks? Also what is your budget and goals for the bike? Why are you wanting to modify?0

I have the bantu....budget upto £150 for the forks...upgrading as a project and to get most out of freeriding/cross country...not sure on the spec's of shocks available,rock shox are coming up with great reviews..new to the sport so very dependable on advice from those in the know,folk on this site have been very obliging.Still can't wheelie0

Save up more and then sell the Voodoo. You bought the wrong bike if you're replacing forks in the first two weeks in my opinion!2011 Carrera Fury

Sounds fair advice.Still can't wheelie0

If you really desperately want to upgrade anything then just do the contact points - saddle, grips, and pedals.
But otherwise either ride it, or sell it.2011 Carrera Fury

This is where I started. aside from making you bike look that little more individual it gets you use to taking bits apart and having a look. You're going to need to save a lot more for a decent set of forks though. £250 is a good starting point. I just got some duel air Rebas fort that.
Good Luck!DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY0 -
Kelbrook eh, just down the road from me, as the guys say keep saving and thrash the voodoo or sell it, then decide what type of rider your turning into because a freeride bike is very different to a cross country mile muncher.
I'd use the voodoo to improve and learn on that way at least your riding,
give me a shout if you fancy Gisburn one sat/sun morning or hitting wheats hill etc.0 -
