Front brake swap

Post by ettev »

Just got finished the fork conversion and am currently using the KDX front brake system. Is swapping to a KX front brake system worth it? If so do I need all the KX components or can I use the KDX master cylinder? I have a option to buy a KX caliper and front brake hose but don't know if I need the master cylinder as well.

Also, while researching I've found conflicting info on the KX front brake hoses. Some sources say they are all interchangable between the years 1997 and 2000 while others say that 1997 and 1998 are specific to those years. My KX fork are from a 1997 bike so I want to be sure I get the right KX brake components if I go that way.

Help.

No, if you do you will need caliper and hose, not sure about master cylinder, not sure about what years fit.
