Hello Forum
Just got myself a 1989 kdx 200 E model.
I took it to local mx cross track and loved every minute of it, now I want more, but I did find the front forks to be very squashy around the track.
I am now looking to do the KX fork coversion but I couldnt find anything on here for my year of bike.
I just wondered what year of KX forks/yokes would be the easiest to put on my 89 kdx frame. And what machining if any would be needed.
I know I need a whole front end and there is plenty on ebay for sale. for most years.
Also Im from the UK so asking rb designs to do work would be hard
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

all you need is forks, triples and an H series front brake
any decent machine shop can make all the pieces

I belive the 94-04 KX 500 triple clamps are a direct bolt on and an improvement over what you have. Earlier ones may also fit, but the earlier forks would not be much of an improvement.
Buy those with the forks, front wheel, and brakes and just bolt on. They are highly desireable for that reason, so they cost more.
Everything else requires some sort of modification/stem swap. Double check the previous posts to make sure I have the right years.
