KYB SSS fork conversion
Has anyone here done or even seen a fork swap with Yamaha KYB SSS forks that used the GG front wheel and triple clamps. I understand a complete YZ front end bolts up pretty easily, however I really want to use as much of the original GasGas parts as possible. I already have an extra set of oem GG triples that can be machined to fit and a set of 08 YZ forks. Just wondering if anyone has successfully overcome the axle, spacer, brake issues involved?

I converted my sachs forks with the sss inserts. ....lots of work....not realy worth it. If you have complete kyb front end then i strongly suggest to mount it up.
The kyb sss dampening system is stellar. My sachs forks have 1mm thicker lower tubes so they are more rigid. The kyb lower tubes flex a little more...which is a good thing. Rob |

Geometry the Same?

With the complete YZ front end, is it basically a bolt on deal? |
I just finished installing my SSS forks today. Friend gave me the whole front end minus a couple of parts I found easily on e-bay, Now it's time to break it back down and send it off to Drew Smith for a little shortening. Everything fit pretty good except it hits my radiator guard cross braces which I can figure something out eventually. Need to take a good look at Ed Ventura's bike next time I see him.

Les at LTR recommended swapping the whole front end....I guess I was being stubborn, however I was willing to spend some time and effort to be able to use good parts I already had. Oh well on to plan B..... |
