So, an E brake system with the KLX300 forks?

Good job!

The calliper is from a KLX300. The E brake line and MC should work. Will update.

Yep

all that is needed for the swap is

Forks
Calliper
Axle (e spacer is even the same)
Fork Guards

As I said I am yet to bolt up the brake line but it looks like it will work just fine.

I will know when the guards get here but I might have to hack a chunk out for the brake disk. It is a good 3/16-1/4" closer to the fork leg than the stock 300 set up.

The brake hose routing works but you have to stick it out the side like the picture because of the stock hose fitting. Still better than the KLX300 routing IMO.

Just got it all done, I will post a summery of the process this weekend if I can find the time however I might be riding!

Looking good!

Santa Cruz hand! :partyman:

The forks do make the front end look a lot better.

Look on some 1987 - 1989 KX parts diagrams for better upper brake hose routing.

You might also read up a couple of guys here have a brake hose clamp mounting plate on their guards. It seems to work well for them.

Yeah I just had the brake line tucked in there to keep it out of my way while I figured things out. I need to get another guide for the top. It does look allot better. Didn't get a chance to ride (well I did do some street riding) this weekend to test it. I will post once I get a chance to ride it. I live in the City so it's a bit of work just to get it out where I can ride it.
