Yes, he will need a longer axle, but the diameter is the same, so I think the forks are fine...

YA, not sure why, aren't the axles both 25mm??....but I do (now) remember another member saying there was an issue with the axle when he put a turbine on his Rocker (with wider triple tree). I think he either found a axle that worked, or had one machined to fit, pretty sure he didn't change a fork, but I could be wrong....that might be another less expensive option.
If he was to swap the Rocker axle for a Breakout axle he will need to swap the left fork leg too. Right side diameter is the same. I used a chromed right fork leg of a Rocker on my Breakout...the left fork leg of the Rocker would not fit due to a larger axle diameter compared to the Breakout. I had to buy a CVO fork leg instead....very pricy.

The one on the BO for sure is 25mm. If I remember correctly the shape in terms of diameter steps is different on both. A Breakout axle does not fit the left Rocker fork leg.

Maybe Valdemar could have a BO axle turned down to fit?? (he has to buy a new axle either way). That would cost a lot less then a new fork..
