Hi all. New here but not new to Kawasaki. I recently bought a 2002 KDX220 for my son. I've read that a great upgrade is to hang a front end from a KX250 on it. Some questions that may save me some research time:

1) Would a front fork and triple clamp assembly from a 2003 KX250 work on my 2002 KDX220? Better yet, what year(s) KX forks will fit my bike?
2) Is the swap a direct bolt on or are there other mods required (machining of parts, etc)?
3) I'm guessing I'd also need the front brake setup from a KX or am I wrong? Will my KDX brake setup bolt up to the KX front end?
4) Any other tips or parts lists you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

short answer:
1 yes
2 need to use your kdx stem
3 can re-use kdx line , need to mod the fork guard

Here is one ready to bolt on...

$350 for the "ready to bolt on" forks/wheel is a GREAT bargain . . . I set my 220 up via piecemeal, part-by-part Ebay purchases, always looking for the lowest cost and spending a lot of time figuring out what years match what parts, and so on and so on . . . and I spent that much.

Re: 'Will my KDX brake setup bolt up to the KX front end?'

Rotor won't. Caliper (and hi-route brakeline as noted) will.

I second what jeb said. Mine cost me 350$ including all the shipping charges and oil and seals and bushings but my forks only cost 1$ on ebay.

350 is a heck of a deal, specially as a straight bolt on!
