Hi I've got a 2003 orange patriot and there is a 2005/6 orange front triangle for sale what I'm wondering is can I match the five front triangle with the patriot rear ? The rear shock is the same size Hope someone can help ,cheers

Is there a reason why you want to change the front triangle? Are you wanting to make a cheap 5? Or need to replace a damaged front triangle. If that later, I have a 2001/2002(?) Patriot front triangle if that's any good to you.

I used to have a 2007 5 and I still have a 2007 Patriot. From memory, the Patriot swingarm is much beefier and bigger than the 5 one, but I think the bearings were the same size.

So it might fit, but I doubt you'd end up with a decent bike.
