2001 KX 500 Top Triple Clamp Options??
alan:
My 01 forks are 54 mm where they go through the top of the triple clamp. Paul told me that them jumped up 2 mm in 04-05 on the KX250, but it would take some machining to make them fit.
Here are some pic's of mine, tell me what it is you want to accomplish?
hughes:
Alan, I want to use a top clamp from a kx250 like timbowe did. This would let me move the bars up and down and forward or aft. I will need a collar that would take up the space between my 43 mm forks and the 54-56 mm clamps.
alan:
Are you sure your forks are 43 mm! I will check my forks on my 94 at work today and get back with you! I do I have a spare set of complete trip clamps also and I think the will fit an 01.
hughes:
I'm going to measure them tonight. They are 43 or 46.

My 94 is 52 mm and my 01 is 54 mm and thr 04 250 must be 56 mm un less I am mesuring them in the wrong place. OK I figured out the problem! I was mesuring the top trip clamp oppening not the working part of the fork tube. So my 94 is 43 mm and my 01 must be 46 mm.
