KX Fork Swap Almost Done..

Just need to figure a good way to attach the KDX brake line to the fork guard. Thinking about drilling a couple of holes in the guard toward the bottom (have pretty much eyeballed it for the best, lowest, place to attach it) and zip tie it on. Other option would be to fabricate a mount for the KDX line clamp on the fork guard. Problem here is, will have to mount it higher on the guard, and may not be able to use the guard/line guide because of the risk of the line clamp breaking it in a "full fork compression" occurence.
This is the last thing between me and the woods.
Any other ideas or comments?
Thanks.. Tom

Has worked flawlessly. I do not use the guides with the guards so there is no interference there.

What's the other piece running up from the KX clamp mount? A brace for the one holding the hose maybe?

That is the pickup for my Trail-tech endurance computer. I made a custom mount for it too.

Ok, now I got it.
LOL! I have one of those on order, should be here the end of next week. Now I have a jump on how to mount it too.
Thanks again. :grin:

I rode the hell out of mine this year with the brakeline through nothing but the hole in the guide and then inside the fork to the caliper. No problem at all.
