KX 500 conversion
Am interested in doing kx 500 fork conversion, but have a few questions.
1. Is this really as I understand it a straight bolt on?
2. KDX or Kx clamps?
3. I assume revalving is required for woods riding - can this be cone by a novice or does it need to be sent off?
4. I have been looking on ebay and have not seen much. Will I need to buy it piece at a time over time? Any suggestions on where to look.
Thanks

Use the entire KX500 frontend.... Done.
Revalve and respring as needed for your weight and riding style as any forks.

Glad it worked for you. Honestly though, what fun is it if everyone does the same thing just because it worked for you?VirtualVarmint wrote:Just do the the KX125/250 swap using RB. Piece of cake. I will be posting my entire project as soon as Inda gets the pics working again.
Can't wait to see it done. Make sure to take some pictures....
