KX forks
jonny500:
if you can source a 91-93 kx 250 top yoke you can have the rubber mounted handle bars
The Flyin Hawaiian:
If these forks did indeed come from Shieks bike you may not have to respring them. Usually MXrs put stiffer springs in them. Rebuild them and try them as is then decide if the springs are needed.
jkindt:
Well...the forks definately fit. They are a direct bolt on to the frame. I think I can live with the solid handlebar mount if I have to, I got some decent 909 handlebars that are 7/8" already. The only problems I have found so far is mounting up the front tire.
1) The axle is too small on the front wheel to fit the newer fork. Can I just change the axle, or do I need to change more parts in the hub?
2) The brake caliper doesn't fit. I will just find one that matches up to the forks.
1989kawasaki:
youll need the front wheel and brake setup from the kind of bike the forks came from
sandblaster:
You'll need a front brake caliper from a 90-93 kx125 kx250 kx500, 91-94 kdx250.
On your front axle it will depend on your hub.
The hub will be stamped F-1212 or F-1249, possibly something else.
Or, measure your bearing diameter and tell me if it is 17mm or 20mm.
