EZ3 in australia , any clamp , any off set you want , custom.

Do  other triple clamps  fit the 1990  kx500 besides the newer kx500 ones????  is there a relatively easy complete fork and clamp swap from other newer  dirt bikes ( yz, rm etc) ??? I know all balls have a conversion chart but it does mention that its  only for the bearing sizes.. im worried about stem sizes , offset , etc.. 

Thanks  :-)

Emig racing sells a stem to convert the new kx clamps to fit the kx500. Thats how i did mine. I did have to weld a stop to the frame for the different new style stops though
