Suspension upgrades that work, other then the basic oil change, revalve and nitrogen charge

I started this subject in hopes to get some suggestions on suspension up grades what we have tried what works and what dosent. I was questioning if KX 450 forks would fit on a KX 500, I know the triple clamps would need to be changed or taken to have them milled to fit larger diamater forks, has anyone done this?

Think it would be better to use the stock kxf clamps.
On this k5 my uncle put some 48mm ?hlins forks. Works super with MX racing!!!!
Only on the beache trying to go faster than 100mph isn't funny!!!!
Think there is to much "wheel" offset with this combo over stock K5.

I wasnt sure the clamps would work in the sterring head

Getting the right Spring Rate, for my weight, on the Shock (Static Sag/Race sag) made a huge difference for my k5's rideability. Not that technical, but its workin'.
