i got a set of 250sx tripple trees and found a good set of forks but the forks are probably 1 or 2mm smaller than the sx forks so they wouldnt be tight in the tripple trees so i made the gap between the fork clamps bigger and they fit tight do you guys think they would be okay to use

Wait a second, you say there smaller.

Then you say "made the fork clamp gap bigger" to fit them in. Which would mean that they are larger diameter forks, I'm lost.

You are crazy shimming or spreading upper/lower triples to fit the wrong fork. SX forks are chicken to find..............

What SX front end parts do you need? I have a complete front sitting in my way, out in the garage...
