Ok, I have a 2001 xc300 with the wp 43mm forks. My forks have some pitting in the chrome & one bottom bolt is stripped. I want something different rather than spend a lot of money on the wp's. I have thought about the Yamaha SSS conversion, but It seems really expensive. Even if I did that I would have to have them re-valved & I can't spend that much on this bike. I have read a lot of good things about the 43mm Showa conventional forks that came on 96-98 Suzuki Rm's. I have seen a few sets with triple clamps for under $200 on ebay. I even considered a KDX or DRZ front fork/clamp/wheel if they are any good. I know there were WP extreme 50mm, & some Marzocci conventionals on gassers in the past with good reviews. I remember someone had put XR650 conventionals on a gasser & loved them. I'm just looking at options & if anyone has some good info I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
