KX forks
jkindt:
The hub is stamped F-1212....tell me some good news....can I use it? :-D
I was hoping to get away with using the caliper and just changing the mounts, but not sure that will work...and as far as the brake disc, it is toast anyways, almost paper thin and ready to fall apart, I will just order one to match the new front end. 8-)

Hello.
You will need a 17mm axle that FITS 90-92 KX125 KX250, 90-93 KX500 part number 41068-1310.
That should set you up.
I have a bunch of this info recorded here:

The axle should look like this.
jkindt:
Perfect! I think I should be able to find that, at least I can still use the wheel I have. Those are expensive to ship. May as well throw in new bearings and seals while I am at it since I am going this far. Thanks for all your help. 8-)

If I were to refresh my forks, would I just put in new seals and oil? Or is there internal parts that wear out and need attention? These blue forks have no play in them that I can feel, so the bushings seem fine, just one side has a slight leak.

Unless your seals are blown and leaking all's I would do is flush the fluid. MX bikes usually don't have a problem with worn bushings. KX fork seals are however prone to leakage.
