fork interchangeability on the kx 500

(1/3) > >>

turbo93svt:
does anyone know if a set of forks and triple trees of of a 93 kx 250 will go onto an 89 kx 500 frame?? any help would be greatly appreciated as im trying to upgrade to the newer inverted forks.

DoldGuy:
Yes & No,

The trees and forks will fit but you have to swap the stem from the K5 to the K2.5 trees & have a bushing made for the top tree. Also keep in mind the K2.5 trees have less offset (which could be a good or bad thing depending on type of riding you do).

turbo93svt:
thanks for letting me know the forks are coming with the lower triple tree and the stem but no upper triple tree so i was wondering if my 500 top would work or would i have to get the 250 one and make a bushing, thanks for your feedback.

DoldGuy:
Turbo,
You need the K2.5 top tree also, the offset is different between the them.

turbo93svt:
okay thanks for the information, i will see if the forks come with the top tree or not if not i will watch for one i can pick up, how involved is it to make the bushing you were refering to?
