beem there done that
I think you need to consider the disc diameter on the front wheel if you are using the Gen1 forks, as the Gen1 Discs have 6 bolt fixing and 298mm Diameter vs 5 bolt on Gen2 and 310/320mm Diameter discs as standard. So the caliper won't be allow the larger discs of the Gen2.

There's a saying, "the best you've had is the best you know". It's very true of many things but on bikes, especially so of suspension. Until you've ridden a Gen 1 with decent fork mods and a better shock, you have little idea of what you're missing in terms of handling, road-holding and ride quality.Given a choice between dropping time and several hundred pounds into fitting 5-spoke wheels for cosmetic reasons versus putting that into improving the suspension, I know where my cash would go.
