Are H and E series triples compatible?

Post by Friedom »

As the title says.. I'm using bar risers, and they're a bit awkward with the angle of the E series upper triple. Can I put an H upper triple on? Is the offset the same?

All the triples on 89 and up KDXs interchange, BUT, I don't know if the forks interchange with the triples.
I KNOW that you can swap whole front ends.

Obviously, the USD forks won't work. 43 mm tubes are 43 mm tubes.
Thank you for participating on kdxrider.net. :bravo:

Yeah, 43s will fit wherever. I tried putting my dr350 front end with fully adjustable conventional 43mm Showas on the kdx, keeping the kdx lower triple (to skip pressing the stem) and trying to use the DR upper triple. No dice. All 43mm but different offset.
