this is the kind of thread I like to see! I've been looking for forks to do this upgrade to my tecate, but they are had to find cheap. I've been looking at kx100 forks assuming they are smaller than kx125\250 forks but I am not for sure and I dont want to waste a bunch of money on something that will not work.
Another issue that I have encountered is that the front brake mount is set up for a much larger rotor (as compared to the tecate) and fabricating a mount to match the smaller rotor may not even be possible. also there is the issue of the axle...something will have to fabricated there.
I already have the aluminum stock purchase (been sitting in the garage for a month now), just waiting to make a decision on a set of forks. i was kinda hoping to be the first to do this to a 84\85 tecate but, I am kind of a procrastinator when it comes to these things so that probably wont happen lol.
If I decide to start this project I be sure to keep you all updated.
The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
