--- Quote from: Motorrad on July 19, 2015, 06:03:13 AM ---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 rode my k5 std with the 15 forks it handled and turned better than the std forks.

Very interesting. did you just slap them on? use the 2015 triple clamps? have you measured your trail numbers before and after?
