I'm confident that Gen 5 forks will fit straight up to Gen 4 triple tree, however you would also need either the m50 brakes off the Gen 5 or some other brakes as Gen 5 is 100mm spacing not 108mm like Gen 4, also you would either need a Gen 5 front wheel or the spacer kit one of the forum members was selling as the front wheel is different on the Gen 5. Hope that helpsWill gen5 forks fit gen4 bike?

my understanding is that the cartridge kits for the Gen 4 and Gen 5 are differentLike said above ^^ It's not a direct swap. The rotors are larger on the Gen5, so you would need caliper spacers. The wheel speed sensor is mounted differently, I haven't tried to line them up to see if they end up in the same exact spot or not, they might.
Wasn't something I wanted to risk, I am having my internals removed from the Gen4 and installed in the Gen5.
Yup, that's true. But Thermosman says that they do work, there's some things that have to be done, but they can work. He's doing mine right now.my understanding is that the cartridge kits for the Gen 4 and Gen 5 are different
Brembo are made in Italy (euro sizing) i expect thats the reason.gen5 uses euro sizing calipers????? mmmmm strange
M50 are 80-100grams lighter but require a 17 ratio master cylinder proper aftermarket m4 calipers use 34mm pistons and more traditional style ratio master cylinders eg 19Thought that m4 where inferior than m50
