I just got an 06 kx250f front end for my 2000 kdx220. I'm wondering about the brake caliper mounting though. Looking at pictures of calipers and I'm starting to think the mounting is different. Can anyone confirm? The 2 bolt holes on the fork is 80mm apart (center to center). They are Showa 47mm forks but look more like CRF caliper mount.

I have these forks on my 220. Pretty sure the caliper bolts straight on IIRC.

I have a kx250 front brake setup and a kx250 wheel. Looks like everything would work besides the bracket mounting. Had anyone tried using CRF stuff before? I keep seeing the brakes are better on them. Could I make the kx wheel work with a CRF caliper? (Same offset)?

Sure if you can find a caliper bracket that will mate the two or your willing to do whatever mods to the caliper bracket (welding, drill/tap, machine, and/or shim) to get everything aligned.
