The rear is no problem and will bolt on as will the rear, but from what I have read is that having a 3.5 front opposed to a 2.15 may require front fender mods....not 100% if the front 3.5 has enough room to be fitted properly to clear the front fender mounts.

Well of u don't want a front fender then u won't have an problems. I went fender less for a season and couldn't stand water spraying in my face.

Even the smallest drops will get you.....after a while I got fed up and went back with the fender. Front fender also braces your front forks together more, but if you get a fork brace that will solve that issue.

Always many options to choose.
