Question on KLX fork swap

Post by Dekon »

Quick question, would forks like the set below just bolt on without any mods to an E- series? I can use my front wheel, caliper, axle and odometer drive with these?

The steering stop is damaged.

What year E series do you have????????? If it is 1993 / 1994, I think the front wheel and brakes MAY fit. If it is 1989 - 1992, then no.

It's an '89, good pickup on the broken steering stop.

I don't know about stock tank sizes but I seem to remember that on any KDX with USD forks swapped in the steering stops need to be reworked anyway

I don't think the 1989 - 1992 wheel will work. I know for sure the caliper won't, as it mounts differently.

These will bolt up and you'll need an axle, wheel, and caliper.
