love to know how you guys are going with fork mods. I have a set of non-USD forks back home but I dont know what they are off! someone told me they maybe from an xr600 or xr400, but i just dont know! they are 43mm dia and 970 long from the top nut on the upper tube to the bottom of the lower leg. disc bolts are 103mm apart, so are way wider than the xt caliper mounts. Ive been down this path before fitting different forks to other bikes, but its hard when I have the forks so far away from where I am now!

good luck with the mods and please get some pics up to show the progress!
cheers...
