I finished putting a KX125 front end on my '03 200 last night. I can't say enough good things about Skipro3. :worship: He walked me through serveral steps by email. It's always easier to ride a trail when someone else clears the way a little. I know he wasn't the first to do this but he was a big help to me. :thumb:
All that said, I can't beleive how easy this was. If your considering it, go for it. Here is a breakdown on the process and parts I used:
1. 2000 KX125 forks and front wheel assembly, '99 KX250 triple clamps, '03 KDX200
2. Remove KDX forks and t-clamps. Press KDX stem out of t-clamps and into lower KX t-clamp along with the lower bearing. (other have had to knurl and locktite, but these years were a press fit).
3. Mount KX t-clamps on KDX frame. Use the KX steering stem nut or appropriate size washers to shim under the top t-clamp as the KDX stem is a little too long.
4. The top t-clamp is a little loose on the KDX stem. Go to the local hobby store and buy some .025 brass shim stock. Use this to form a shim around the stem in the top t-clamp.
5. Finish bolting everything together and go ride. :yeehaw:
I've only done the first 1/2 of step 5. I'll give you a ride report soon.
