[QUOTE="FLBusa, post: 753814, member: 42710"] Skipro3... I think what you did is exactly what anyone who is researching the Fork Swap mod should do. Asking questions is how you get the answers you need to make an informed and intellegent decision. Me... I'm just trying to give back something for all the great info that you and others here have contributed. :thumb: Without it... I wouldn't even have considered doing the mod. In addition I don't think that our discussion has taken anything away from Lutz's post. Fabricating a new stem is really the most professional way to go about doing the mod. IMO making spacers is kind of the easy way out, albeit the most cost effective. For those interested, this is what I needed to fabricate to do the swap on my bike. Bike: 2000 KDX200 Forks: 2000 KX250 Spacer: One 1.50" OD x .950" ID x .156" Thk. Mat'l: Aluminum Spacer to raise the top triple tree to the correct height. Spacer can go either on top of or below the triple tree. Sleeve/Bushing: One .980" OD x .925" ID x .785" High. Mat'l: Stainless Steel (I used Aluminum but the wall is very thin and a tougher metal is more desirable) This sleeve goes into the top triple tree to make up the difference between the smaller diameter KDX stem and the larger diameter KX stem. Brake Line: The KDX line is too short... I used a 2003 KX500 line. I routed it (starting from the caliper) Up over the caliper, then down under the axle, then back up into the factory pinch clamp at the front of the fork. The line then runs up along the fork guard and through the two guides. [/QUOTE]
