good to know! i might pick some of those up! thanks for the info!
you could also use a shorter sparkplug for some clearance under the tank ...i use the ngk br8ecm ... they´re exlusively made by ngk for the ktm sx 360 and sx 380.
... good job, will be a nice bike... 8-)

They are different, I think you said you got a set of triples from a 450, if so they would have to be 450 forks, the Showa 250 forks are smaller at the triple clamp area. The shock does look more like a Showa than a kyb but a picture is hard to tell.
motopunk:
yes the br8ecm plugs are 20mm shorter as br8eg . my fingers love the little bit more clearance between plug and my ´93 tank. :-D
LundMx:
had to go look :-o at my reciept, yes in fact the forks are off a 2009 kx250f and the rear shock as well... I just had thought they where off a 450f
jBernard:
hey, look on the bright side. now they are true to the sticker :-D
those are great forks though. thats the reason i went with the 09+, coated fork legs.
