As far as I have seen the 125 and 250 forks of the same year will be the same forks with exception to the spring weight. The 250's being stiffer.

Weird, this is the email I got from him:
Hi Malcolm,

We have not axle conversions for your fork set-up. We only have a set-up for the 2000 ~ 2004 KX 125 forks to use the stock KDX wheel and speedo drive. I thought the 500’s were a straight bolt on ?

Thank you, Ron
