I really don't think there is an easier mod out there for the results gained. Why someone could not follow through with this mod is beond me, Once the stem is pressed in... it takes a matter of an hour to complete. :roll:
I agree completly with Inda. There was a night and day difference in the way my bike handled before and after. My stock suspension had xr springs and two of the valve shims removed. I used forks, wheel, and axel from a 01 kx250 that were in perfect shape that I only paid $150 for. Got a triple clamp from a 99 kx125 for $30, and it cost me $20 to have the stems swaped out. In all it only set me back $200. Just go for the swap and I am sure you wont regret it. Plus in my opinion the kx forks look alot better than the stock forks do :supz:

There will always be folks that don't comprehend what this conversion will do over the stock forks. I say... that's fine but you really don't know what your missing. If you want to work with what the KDX has that's OK... but this conversion makes a good bike great.

Looks like Krazy and I have made a Luuuuv Connection.

I've also purchased the crappy-looking 98 KX axle pictured above.

The boulder is now rolling downhill now.

exactly the main diff from 99 up is the axel and nut I hope the axel has a nut cause it needs one. and at least one spacer cause the 2000 axel has one spacer that will work for the 98.
if your unsure I will post pictures to show the diff.

Here is what he says...
It has one on it, it just looks like a big cap.
I'll ask if he has spacers.

He already put it in the mail yesterday.

I heard a rumor that I sent the money to Krazykinski today. With any luck, and minimal screw ups in the machine shop, I should be upsidedown in ten days or so.
