All- Whatever happened to someone's idea to put the KLX650 inverted forks onto the KLR? I would think that other than small differences in the rake and trial of the fork that they should be an even swap (forks and triple clamps) for the standard KLR forks. In fact, I seem to remember someone (Gino?) mention that ?Andy? @ Dualstar had a whole bunch of complete front ends for the KLX650. I for one would love to try grafting a KLX front end on the bike, although I know it probably defeats the purpose of the bike being cheap and dirt simple while bone stock. Anyone know better than I on this subject? Zack 91 KLR The Squasher wrote:
