[QUOTE="Lutz, post: 764220, member: 25116"] [b]It's Done![/b] Well, I got everything done over the weekend, everything worked out well. Here's a quick summary of what I did. To use KDX wheel with KX forks: I made a new axle and axle nut to the KX axle dimensions except with a smaller diameter to fit the KDX wheel bearings. No new spacers were needed; I reused the stock KDX wheel spacer and odometer drive. If anything, the KDX wheel with its stock spacers is slightly wider than the KX wheel with its spacers (though I haven't had a KX wheel to measure). Some other minor differences between my new axle and the KX axle are that mine is solid, whereas the KX axle is hollow, and I cut the hex on the axle nut to a smaller dimension than the OD of the axle nut (the hex is larger than the OD on the KX axle nut). Steering Stops: Without new steering stops, the upper clamps would hit the tank, and the fork tubes were much too close to hitting the frame (meaning zero clearance to the naked eye). So I welded a piece of 3/8 inch thick steel to the bottom of the stop on the frame (slightly wider than the original stop). I have some fine tuning to do on the the stop - meaning I have to grind the stop to a slightly smaller dimension to get as much steering lock as possible without interference. A note of caution!!!! If you are welding anything on the bike, make sure not to ground through any bearings, and unplug all of your electronics. Bad things can happen if you don't. Brakes: I used all of the original KDX parts from the lever to the pads. I routed the brake line per tedkxkdx's method: the original line clamp was mounted to the lower fork guard. I'll post some pictures and dimensions when I get a chance - but that might be a while. [/QUOTE]
