Just curious if anyone has successfully fitted Showa forks and/or shock onto a newer CR/WR 250? I have a set of Showa A-Kit suspension off a 2008 Honda CRF 250 and was curious if I could make them work? Thoughts and/or pics would be appreciated. Thanks, Blake
It should work. If the fork uppers are the same diameter then it is super easy. If not then the only challenge is working with the steering stem. There are sorts of possibilities here from spacers to bearing changes to building a custom stem. I put CRF250 forks on a CRF230 and it was quite easy, only some spacers required using the 250 stem.

I had this same question. I have really good showa suspension on my 08 450r, and was wondering if it would fit on my wr125 somehow.
Surprisingly if you have the triple clamp / stem too lots of stuff is very close, if not bolt on. The Steering stops and a few other things might not be right but could be worked around. Also the offset and trail can / will be different in most cases. Might affect handling, i did this once and liked it better.
Husky Factory Enduro Team CH Racing ran them a few years back. So Paul B, tell us your set up for triple clamps?
