Not sure if the geo is going to change. If I had to bet I would say yes. That's one hell of a fork to put on a hardtail though. I have a 05 888 rc on my DHR and I had to special order flat stanchion mounts to bring the handle bar altitude down a bit.

Any fork with more than 5" of travel is gonna throw off the geometry and handling of that bike terribly, don't do it.

i totally second that do not put that fork on that frame it is not designed to accommodate that fork!!!! could i say that anymore?

I put one on my Univega one time, but then I did a wheelie and it broke.

No, Yes, Bad handling. Possible frame-breakage.
