I have listed some YZ forks in the online trading if any one wanted to upgade from their crappy front stock to something with adjustment.

had a look at them on the KB trading site but 25k seemed slightly expensive

(plus, as we all know, KLRs don't need shock upgrades)

You just know that all the views & watchers will be KBers interested to see what they sold for, & not real interested purchasers..

Been thinking about changing the front end on the KLR

Ummmm the model with 46mm tubes (what are they called? I always thought the shiny bits were stanchions)

I got them off a mate who was gonna use them for his XT660. He couldn't be arsed & sold the bike so I got them for Schmidt however I really like the stock suspension on mine.

From what I've been able to find out on ADVrider, the 250 and the 426/450 use the same physical size fork, but with variations in springs. Also the 05 year fork wasn't supposed to be very good.

I'm watching some on E-bay but the problem there is that they strip the front end right down so there's seperate auctions for the forks, caliper, triple clamps, wheel, disk, etc.

The other thing is I'm not really sure how much better the Yamaha fork is over the standard '08 KLR

They look about '01-02 age. Same as the complete front end hanging from the rafters in the Emporium.
Not that mine are for sale of course. No no no no. Not FOR SALE at all.

Good on ya Nordie You may as well post a pic up & advertise the whole lot for $249.00

I rekon it's about time you had a garage sale at the emporium Nordie

The punters would come from far and wide, and you'd have more space for other "new" things to go in there
