I have a set of these. I've been on the fence about trying them on my 95. Maybe I should give them a try.

Motorrad:
Okay. Blue leg fork
Leg bottom= 43mm
Bottom to axle outer= 40.79mm
Axle diam= 21.91mm
Axle offset= (40.79-(43/2))+(21.91/2)
                   = 30.245mm


2008 kx450 fork
Leg bottom= 33mm
Leg to axle outer= 37.33mm
Axle diam= 24.88mm
Axle offset= (37.33-(33/2))+(24.88/2)
                   =33.27mm

So
Kx500 total offset= 30.245mm +22mm
                                = 52.245mm
Kx450 total offset= 33.27mm + 24.5mm
                                = 57.77mm

Difference of positive 5.525mm of offset change...

Yikes!

The fix.......

I would still have the same issue.... F-ed up geometry

  And not sure how I feel about the new fork technology yet.   Heck I still call upside down ones new fangled witch craft....


Here is my fix

Puts all my geometry back to stock...   I'm in the process of pressing out my custom steering stem and pressing it into the new clamps...
