There's a deal to aquire this, I haven't had trouble with what I have just thinking ahead, still pretty knew but getting out a lot and I'm loving it. I would post more but I always get this spamhaus thing after I post , then I have to remove my IP from some blocklist idk what it is kinda annoying. Thanks to all on this site for all you do.

What are they asking on the forks?

I don't think any spamhaus thing has anything to do with this site.

Thanks for joining and participating.

I think that is what I paid for 96 KX 500 forks. Good swap for riding fast. Not needed for slower trail riding.

You're welcome.

That is not super cheap, but not super high. I guess that is the going rate for a front end. I know people are asking an arm and a leg on eBay for anything dirt bike related, it seems.

Thanks guys, yeah I think I will hold off until I outgrow what I have, plus with the new springs and oil and shim mod and rebuilt shock, this thing is excellent for me and my riding style. Thanks for the great advice

Also just so I can remember, what is the best, easiest year for a swap, I thought I remembered 1990, 91 being the most straight forward

Well, 1991 is the last year for a straight swap for KX125 and KX250. If you had a new in the box front end from 1991, it is still 30 years old technology.

Spamhaus IP blocking is written into this forum's software apparently:

It kept doing this to me as well.
I was attending to my Mom in the nursing home, slowly typing a 1 paragraph reply and trying to remotely link images from carb manufacturer website over the course of 2 hours and it stopped letting me preview my posts, and denied me from submitting it:

I went through the same thing with Spamhaus recently as well. When I wasn't posting for a few days here and there a few weeks back it was because of them. Julien D and an IT security guy looked in to it and could find nothing that should be triggering a block on the forum but it somehow does.

I talked with Spamhaus many times about this and they said it was some sort of malware/spyware associated with Android systems (including things like Fire TV) but it was, at that time anyway, still unidentified. It kept blocking me so I had to start resetting my router each time so I could get a new IP address. I've been lucky and haven't had to do it for about a week now. I wish there was a known solution for this issue.
