[QUOTE="dixie, post: 817800, member: 39720"] Yes, Here's another story on the KX-conversion. Would Like to thank Every One Who has Put Infor on this Web site for People to use. Here is my lowdown on my project, I notice that some said you needed a 3/8 spacers for the top clamp and others said the clamp would hit the gas tank. Mined did and that the fork tubes needed to be up a 1 inch in the clamp also, That started me to rethink this situation, So I made a Spacers 1 - 3/8 inches to raise the top clamp to give the clearance needed, Now the fork tubes are flush with the clamp, It also raises the bars Now to the right hight . Now to the Wheel, the axle, axle nut, spacers, dust cover, bearings, all came to another 135.00 . Well I couldn't handle the extra cost between that and racing to. So the old brain had to go into overdrive, looked at the axle and maid a axle nut, bushings, sleeved , washers, line wheel up looks real good. For the Brake line and the odo cable I used a 5/16 Electrical fastener it has a rubber insert bolted to the fork sliders. ------------------------------------------------------I Wished I Knew this 10 years ago. Now its the KDX It should Be, I am a 3 gear rider and now this thing stays in 4-5 most of the time now it seems the harder you ride the more it wants, like every posts said it Gobbles up trail junck woops those moon craters tracks and turns better and has made me a better rider, still playing with those extra clickers nice to have, the rebound control, MY bike is a 95 model the forks are 94 KX-250 Got the applied top clamp, pro taper bars, bottom KX-clamp, forks, fork sliders, for 200.00 , I jump on them real fast after reading some of the post here and seen it was a big inprovment, Again Thanks for the Help, and I hope my little Input here may help others to. I'm still new to this pc I wish I knew how to post pictures to show my conversion. Any way Hurricane on the way Looks like a washout this weekend, One more thing before I go How much are the old snags and clamps worth to resale any Body interrested.
