Just noticed that the bar clamps are missing in your pic. I found out the other night that although the (in my case) KX and KDX bar clamps are the same idea, the KX top clamp is thinner than the KDX so the KDX mounts have to long of a stud and will not tighten up in the clamp.Mr. Wibbens wrote:... and somehow a set of forks wound up in my garage for cheap

I think my parts guy botched my order
Other than that just trying to get the brake side spacer figured out
I've learned the hard way that the only thing on this drawing that was correct for my swap was the steering head sleeve
The axle needs to be under 15mm, the odo side needs to be under 25mm, and so on....

Not sure what my clamps came off of. Friend of mine gave them to me, could be ktm, suzi or yami? since he has all 3
They did not come with cones, so I had to make some out of uhmw
No idea if they'll work

Fugg! I figured between his and that other guy that had a drawing they'd be good to gorbates9 wrote:I also found out that just about ALL of the measurements are off on that pic.
That's what you get for trusting other peoples work LOL
What was funny, The axle actually fit though one bearing, but when I tapped on it with a hammer it popped the other bearing completely out

I took about 100000000 measurements to try to get it right the first time, glad I did.Mr. Wibbens wrote:>|<>QBB<Fugg! I figured between his and that other guy that had a drawing they'd be good to gorbates9 wrote:I also found out that just about ALL of the measurements are off on that pic.

Nope no idearbates9 wrote:Rb is working on the spacer set up for using a KDX wheel on KX forks for me right now. Still in the design and testing stage at this point. Do you know if the axle, wheel, spacers and what not are the same for your forks as a 2000 kx 250? If so RB will have the set up if everything lines up for me.
I just need to get some thin washers so I can mock mine up and figure out the spacing
also I'm going to try an H wheel to see if it is a better fit at the caliper or not
*********
Well tried it but my axle was too f'n big to fit through the H odo drive and it seized and was a f'ing PITA to get back off

Well through lots of swearing and almost tearing my thumbnail off, it finally donned on me that I needed a washer between the right fork leg and the odo drive, to get my disc lined up properly in the caliper

All I'm worried about is getting the disc centered in the caliper

Just mocking it all up
Had to put a washer under the castle nut
Needed a washer here to get the disc lined up to the caliper

The measurements on my picture is meant for 2004 and 2005 kx125 fork to KDX wheel. if yours is other years and model of fork. you will than need to measure your fork's clamping diameter on both ends to match. the design is still the same though. My work is correct and trust worthy just that most of the people dont know the concept because maybe of the lack of some common sense and basic mechanical knowledge.
BTW mr wibben, very poor workmanship you have got there on the axle that i can see.

E and H KDX's use the same sized front wheel bearings thus have the same sized axles
You can't very easily fit a 15mm shaft through a 15mm hole

why is it so that you cant? i dont understand. they have the same wheel bearing size and that axle diameter is the same. i did not machine another axle totally just use back the oem axle to add up another new diameter on both ends. Done. anyway i have been there, done it with the dimensions in the drawing with pictures of my work. maybe i should have add a statement at the bottom. Use it at your own risk...
