    I just read this whole thing, and am really disappointed that the O.P. did
    not share bearing sizes, and give a ride report. BTW. get yourself a set of WP 50mm magnum triples
    off a 96'-98' KTM, bolt the fkr's on with the stock KTM bearings, insert Suzuki forks, and go.
    Use beer cans for spacers, they don't slip. The KTM offset is very close to the 86' Husky. Much less than the RM triples.

    what's the problem with old threads. I'm glad to find information. Isn't that why computers have memories?
