As there were some skeptics on the forum regarding this modification when I posted it in 2011, I want to report on the experience after 1 years of use of the 3 forks that I modified.

The 3 DLR Lefties that I modified using XLR 140 dampers still work great.
No problems have occured beyond the normal Lefty service. I also experience that the XLR dampers are less prone to oil loss compared to the original DLR dampers.

This modification means you keep the 110mm travel of the DLR Lefty, or even extend it to 120mm, and can enjoy the improved XLR damper (remote lockout, etc), without having to buy a new Lefty.
