Who's running a Duke on their Hollowpoint?

I just received a mint condition 2002 RS Duke SL 100mm - and now it's got me wondering if I should put it on my Hollowpoint instead of the other bike it is intended to go on.

Anyone using a Duke on their Hollowpoint and if so, how does it match up with the frame?

I'm wondering if I should go for a 100mm fork for my 2004 Hollowpoint or instead bump up to a 120 or even a 130mm fork to make it more of an aggressive trail bike. This is probably the smarter move since the Duke I picked up would be going on an older (not quite vintage) 4" travel FS bike that I'll be picking up soon.

But I'm open to comments on how a Hollowpoint feels with a Duke up front.

Thanks.

mark ran an 02 80 mill travel duke race up front for about a month and it was awsomely a very quick responder with the rear set to the short travel position it was great out on the twisty singal track that i ride and it proved to be very sweet set up but for some of the more rocky rooty stuff that i ride i like haveing the fox 100 mill travel on the front either way it works good and i dont think that i would go with anything over 100 for i think it would slow down the steering to mutch hope this helps have a good day and Ride ON

I have had a Duke C U-turn on my 03 HP frame for over a year with no problems. No lock-out but a nice smooth fork.
