[QUOTE="2strokerfun, post: 1395054, member: 69719"] see what size forks you have. Probably 38mm or 41mm that year. Find a later model bike with same diameter forks and disk brakes. Make sure length is similar or it will hurt your handling. If axle size on new forks is different than what you now have, you may have to use wheel from the bike you are getting forks from. And you may have to find/fabricate different wheel spacers if distance between forks on your current triple clamp is different than the donor bike. It can be a pretty involved affair. Personally, I'd just leave it as is and enjoy it for what it is: a decent vintage MX bike (that someone who collects vintage bikes may be interested in buying and letting you get a newer model with disk brake).
