| Such a waste of those forks, is there no way you can make them fit on your other bike? |

nope :cry: the shaft is way too thin. the one on my klx thing is like twice the size lol. its unfortunate. id have to get custom bearings, then somehow pull this metal plate out at the top of stem on frame,
oh well. ill just build this next pit up for a backup incase main one fails. not much else i can do lol, giving them to my sister for her pit is out of the question :lol: |

no way, you would need to get that shaft machined out and get a new one machined in,
this is the olnly way to do it,
why dont you sell you klx thing and build up a mint bike,
you could use those forks, crf50 engine whcih u have and billetware frame or something
you could have a right bike |

Way to much rake on them front forks, will bend and eventually snap the headstock if you ride/jump with them.
I Say build up the blue on as cheap as poss, then sell it, sell the forks and then spend the money on your other pit.
Insted of having 2/3 not so good ones have one good one. |
