monster malibu:
I plan on pulling my bike apart this winter in between ice racing and ice fishing. I'm hoping "SANTA" will be generous and pick up some parts for me. I was going to have my forks rebuilt but decided to swap them out for newer ones. I need help finding out what year bike to get them from. Thanks for the replys guys. Bob.

fluffy:
i started flattrack racing a 89 kx 500 this season has 91 front forks that seem to work o k.

I am running a complete 89 front end on my bike and it helped alot. In 89 they went to cartridge style forks and not damping rod. I kept the same look as 87 500 but have better froks.

don46:
As far as the forks, you can use any KX year you want, how much money and effort do you want to expend? I put a set of 04-250f forks on my KX 500 2000, I used the triple clamps from the 250f, and the steering stem from the k5 and had to make a bushing for the top clamp. Then I said what the heck and put the motor into the 250f chassis.

monster malibu:
When I change to 89-91 forks, is it a simple swap or will I need other parts? I would like to just unbolt mine and bolt the new ones in.
