[QUOTE="idl1975, post: 1417817, member: 95230"] Have finally got around to getting the KX forks on the KDX, having spent a bit of time sorting out a new-to-me CBR600 F2 and doing some track days. Finding springs for it was proving a bit of a pain, so I opted for having a local spring manufacturer put together a pair in .46kg/mm to match the springs out of the KX. Forks were then rebuilt with new oil, seals and bushes. As the KDX uses a different axle (for a company so in love with their own parts bin that they still make entire GPz900s, [U]this [/U]they had to make different...), I'm using a KX wheel with the KDX disc and spaced out accordingly. To save dicking about with the soft/hard line combination, which is in any case not the right configuration for the longer KX forks, I've spent ~£25 on a Hel braided line, which looks nicer (kwakka green and black banjos) and avoids the horror of dealing with ancient hard-line connectors. Still waiting for a spacer to be cut to size, but took it for a quick spin up the road (after carefully rechecking my clamp bolts!) spaced out with washers, and the brakes and front end feel much nicer, to the extent you can tell on tarmac anyway. A lot more feel under braking and more controlled action. Going to hopefully take it to the track or a novice enduro on Sunday to see how it goes. The KX front came with a D752 in 90/90, as opposed to the fatter section road-legal knobbly I have on the KDX rim. [b]Anyone have a view on whether the 752 suits KDXs? [/b] And will that size work? The two biggest MX tracks we have locally are (i) soft earth and (ii) hard sand and chalk - basically pretty damn hard. I gather it's a soft to intermediate tyre - will that work at all on the hard surface, or will I get dumped on my ass? At least it's coming together at last. It even started like fourth kick, despite having sat for two or three months. I have a KX tail from UFO which I'd like to mount up, ditching the stock rear frame rail. If I could get that done, my bike would be a single colour again, but there's quite a bit of cutting and fitting, plus I need to fab up a bracket to carry the number plate and indicators. [/QUOTE]
