KDX with KLX forks

Post by trask-rider »

Hi everyone,

I have a KDX-220 that I bought new in 2002, and in 2006, a friend of mine had an old blown-up KLX-300 that was just a rolling chassis, so he let me swap the front end onto my KDX in order to have the inverted forks (the same as a 1997 KX-250), and everything just bolted right on like it was from the factory, indluding the headlight mounts and the odometer spacing gear. I sent the forks off to Moto Pro Suspension in Washington for a revalve and stiffer springs, and I can't believe what an amazing difference it made for the handling of the bike.

Here's a pic of my ride:

Hi. That is a great looking KDX.

By the way, the 1997 KX250 forks are a good bit different than KLX forks.
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net. :bravo:

Thanks for the great comments.

Here's a link to graphicmx.com for the KDX graphics kit: http://graphicmx.com/kkit.shtml

I've used their stuff on a couple of bikes and it's a good product at a reasonable price.

Ride On!

What did you use for fork guards? I did the same thing on my 05 kdx200.
