kdx200 93 inverted forks adapted to 1990 mod kdx

Hey........

Julian D will be along soon probably and I know he can tell you.

He did the conversion at one time on a 1989 I believe.

I'm pretty sure he ended up running a YZ Yamaha pair in the end though.

julien_d tried the USD's on his but I do not think he was overwhelmed by them:

"wheel, axle, and caliper are different on the 93-94. Additionally, those forks are only slightly better. Pretty much on par with the 95+ conventionals. Hardly worth the trouble of sourcing a new wheel/caliper."

Good Luck with it Captain.........

When set up properly, they will be a good bit better than the 1990 forks. Look for a wheel and brake setup.

lol, sorry haven't been on much. Yes, they will bolt right on so long as you have the triples to go with. My 89 had 94 USD forks on it when I got it. I have since swapped them for a mid 90's yz250 front end. We put my old 94 forks on the 91. It was a straight swap, even kept the 91 front wheel, so I was mistaken there. Did have to use the 94 caliper though. Not sure if a 95+ caliper will work, but I think it might. They are decent forks, pretty much on par with the 95+ kdx conventionals. An improvement over your current forks, but not by a whole lot.

If you have trouble fitting the wheel, let me know. I have a 94 front wheel in good shape. Give it a try though, I know we used the 91 front wheel, but we may have needed to use the 94 axle and spacers...
