1994-1998 KX250 Suspension upgrade

<< < (2/3) > >>

KXDINO:
Blaster right , what i would do is put a gold valve in the shock , if there one thing they do good is you notice that the rebound clickers really change when you adjust the clickers where the stock stuff hardly do a thing .

sandblaster:
I've used the Gold Valves for years with good success.
Recently we put Pro Action valving in Sean Collier's bike and he loves it.
After closely inspecting their valve set up it is almost identical to the gold valves.
So if you want to save a few bucks, PM Alward25 and see what he can do it for you at.

Peacock:
Thanks, sandblaster, KXdino,kmc14,

Really appreciate the info.  It actually adds some reassurance to the direction I was goin to take.

Billited 1998 triple tree/clamps.  New 14-16 forks caliper spacers ect.  Full rebuild of shock gold valves "thanks guys"

Im looking at new wheels and hubs so I'll have to check the wheel 1994 kx wheel size against the newer 450kxf Wheel sizes.

The original bike was in very very poor condition, battered bruised and rusty.  Pulling it down today and some bearings just fell apart rusted out.  The plastics just desinergrated and the list gos on. 

I'll post pictures of the build.  It is my first restoration, so will need some advice on the build.

If anyone has done this upgrade to the front end of a 1994-1998kx share your results.  Any further info would be appreciated.

kmc14:
I put 07 kx450f forks on my 98 KX 250(with 500 engine) years ago. I used an 03 swingarm and run the 450 wheels and brakes. The 450f forks fit right in the 98 triple trees.

Peacock:
KMC14 What swingarm did did you use assuming you used a 03 kx 250 swingarm or was it a 03 kx450f swingarm?
