Wich fork/Bike does fit the XTR, need answer quick!!!!!!!!

Hello

Got a XT660R 2007 I recently bought after that I sold my KTM690EnduroR. Yes the 690 was wonderful but needed a normal bike. I have bought a KTM WP for a 525SX from -04 with complete wheel & brakes. I haven,t started but looking how I gonna fit the stem. Don,t know if the WP fits straight away too the XT660 steering bearings or how much job.

Had also found a set from a Yamaha YZF450 -08, how does it fit with this parts better or?????

Please if someone knows please answer very soon. Thanks a lot!

Easiest, but most expensive way...

Will make KTM forks fit Yamaha steering stem and bearings.

Thanks for a quick answer but OTR fork or clamps are not a option it,s to expensive. Just wondering about the stem is the same on YZF and XT!

I have seen an XTZ with a WRF front end fitted, but it was only an eBay advert, so I have no idea of the details or how much work was involved in fitting.

The other option is to use the KTM forks and Yokes/Triple Clamps, and have a custom steering stem made.

The guy with the YZF seems to be a little strange so I will stick to my WP fork and mod them to fit. Will try to remember to take photos! Thanks.
