I dont know if the manual has it cause i dont have the frame yet. Its a 07 Haro Werx7. It would be a temporary for like 7months or so.

5.5inches. The stock fork the bike comes with from haro is a totem. I thinking the almost 2inch diffrence isnt gonna affect it?

Its def gonna steepen the head angle and make handle funny! I wouldnt do it if i were you. I would at least get 160mm fork seeing as the 32 is only 140 thats a far cry from 180 you know what i am saying. I have a 36 talas r for sale if your interested 500 USD.

I talked to my friend/mechanic. He said it will fit, and no other issues. He has been wrong before, but i dont know about it. I trust your guys word, but i really want the werx7, and i cant afford a new fork after i get it with the other stuff i need. Should i get the werx7 or is their a better frame that will fit all my stuff under $600?

Hi, just curious, do you think I could mount a 180mm travel fork (dual or single crown) on my 2007 Kona Shred hardtail jumper?
Thanks

Yeah, I wouldn't, I have a 160mm fork on my Scrap, and that's the max I'll install on it.
