i just picked up a 89 kdx 200
i was wondering if a set of forks from a 1995 would work with the 89 triple trees and front wheel?

Edit: ignore my confusion

??

The forks are both 43 mm diameter. Your problem will be the brake caliper mounting and MAYBE the axle / wheel. Someone else may chime in.

Oops I stand corrected I thought the h series had 45's

nah, 1995+ is 43 mm.

1995+ forks, wheel and brakes is a nice little upgrade for 1986 - 1992. Not "A kit" level, but still a nice little upgrade to cartridge forks and possibility to buy the UFO plastic fork guard / disc cover.

thanks guys for your input.i may see what i can come up with on ebay and weigh the cost vs the gain from the swap

Search within the forum, as surely someone has tried to fit the older front wheel to the newer forks. I can't remember for sure the outcome.

To me it just isn't worth the hassle to switch from the E to H-series forks. They really were just a slight upgrade. Of course, to each their own!

If you have to buy it off eBay with shipping, then skip it, especially if the wheel won't work. If you found it locally for cheap, then it might be worth it.

i will look around to see if anyone tried on here.there is nothing locally available.i have a few minor things to address on the bike before i get to serious about a swap.
will the shim mod also work on these forks?

Shim mod is 1995+ forks.

If you want to convert, read up on the KLX250 / KLX300 forks. (AND front wheel and front brakes)

Always think of it as a front end swap, not just forks.

thanks for the info and input.i will keep that in mind

No problem. Just total up all costs before buying ANY parts.
