Re: 43mm KX 500 Forks..
As said by javjacob, you need to find 97-04 KX 500 forks. This one looks old, before 1989 and the first USD fork on the KX500.
I didn't manage to find a KX500 fork for a descent price in Europe, so I bought a KX250 fork for 80€ instead...

Re: 43mm KX 500 Forks..
Hi..yeah, been doing some research on them and i think it will be hard work to find the other bits..
found a guy in England breaking a 2002 KX125..ive just been in touch with him and ask him for a price for the wheel, forks, clamp and brake system..offered him £200. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks for the reply, it must getting annoying to you experienced guys!!

Stock KDX caliper works in many applications. May be worth trying before ordering a different one sight unseen.
