1991 kdx200 front forks

(1/3) > >>

jostan:
I just bought the bike and it runs good the problem someone changed the front forks and no seems to know what they are so as for now i have no front brakes or caliper. question is would it be better to try and find a used one or if i can upgrade it what forks would be a straight drop in.

THanks

sandblaster:
The forks should have some numbers embossed around the lower inside area.
What color are the uppers.
Also, what is the distance between the caliper mounting bolts?

jostan:
I dont know exactly it might be better for me post some picture which i will do later. probably be easier that way.

jostan:
Well I have not been able to take pictures of the forks i have a small garage and its been raining like crazy. So here is my next crazy question the bike is the right size for my son and i dont think he will grow that much more. So is it possible to put a kx250 engine in it without modifying anything or what would your suggestion be. he is to tall for a 85.

Not sure about motor swap or your son's skill set. But if you were thinking 85 except for size I wouldn't worry bout a 250 right yet anyhow. 200 is a good beginner  motor or better yet get him a 125, and he can rip it for years
