looking at my install it is a really good fit on the stem. i don't see how a shim is going to even fit in there! maybe i'm wrong but it looks pretty snug.. anyone have a pic of how theirs looked without the shim? and what it looked like after?

thanks.

ok on second look there is play but hardly any! could be hard to get some shime material in there!

It's not hard... only a wrap... maybe 2 if your lucky.

1.75 for me (serious)

ok... problem number two! the axle is to large and so is the caliper! is this not a kx fork or need older wheel?

Does the year of the wheel match the fork?

part number is k050r and L

im an idiot... is says he got them off a 92 kdx250.. where did i read that wrong.. i think i just jumped the gun when i saw them without researching..... well they do fit well... but now i need a front rim and caliper.. anyone want to trade a kx250 front rim and axle?

is this even a good fork?

I can tell ya blue forks are not 03's.... more like 93's....

one last question, if these forks are crap can i reuse the triples on a kx set of forks? man i should have read the details!

Depends on the clamp size....

Honestly... I would keep the wheel... sell the forks and look for 01 - 03's

i read on another post on the forums they are 43mm

i would use them but finding the wheel for a kdx 250 doesnt sound easy. nothing on ebay.

I would sell the whole thing except the wheel.... 43's are what stock KDX forks are... meaning you will still have spagetti handling.

these things are double the size of the kdx forks. but i agree.. i think they are going back up on ebay. kinda sucks though all that money spent and now i have to sell the stuff off again!

thats what i get for not paying attention and secondly i have a bike laying in parts still!

The lower tubes on the inverted are what is important... those are what is 43mm.... same as the stock KDX uppers.

Good deals can be had...so keep your eyes open... the bright side is that you already have a wheel and have the bike ready to install them!

yup.. dx250 says it right on the lower clamp... oops

man, how lucky am i.. the clamps are identical part numbers.... at least i dont have to press a stem!
good site to look up part numbers! just found it!

Same part number as what??

the kdx250 and kx 125 upper and lower fork clamps.

Yeah... if you buy the same year forks... they are not interchangeable between year. Those uppers and lowers will not fit 96 forks or 03 forks and even those are different. You need to match the years or you will end up with parts that don't work together.... kinda like what you have right now.
