Im scouring fleebay for a set of forks to convert on to my 99 Canadian Import KDX220r...
found these cheap, need some TLC, would they be better than my stock forks?

As said by javjacob, you need to find 97-04 KX 500 forks. This one looks old, before 1989 and the first USD fork on the KX500.
I didn't manage to find a KX500 fork for a descent price in Europe, so I bought a KX250 fork for 80€ instead...

Hi..yeah, been doing some research on them and i think it will be hard work to find the other bits..
found a guy in England breaking a 2002 KX125..ive just been in touch with him and ask him for a price for the wheel, forks, clamp and brake system..offered him £200. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks for the reply, it must getting annoying to you experienced guys!!

Stock KDX caliper works in many applications. May be worth trying before ordering a different one sight unseen.

Oh right, I was under the impression that I would need to replace the caliper too??
