I thought that I'd tack this onto Jakobi's thread since he's mentioned the WR's in his original post

I'm looking at a set of KYB forks off an 08 or 09 WR450F

Does anyone have any opinions on whether these are worth the effort to swap with the sach's on my 09 ec300, or should I hold out longer (and more $) for a SSS set?

My intention is to use the gasser triples and front wheel (as it's set up with a tubliss system) and the WR axle, a braking brake caliper mount etc...

I've gotten myself confused with the various fork options, so some clarity would be appreciated

I'm not fast by any means, and the bike will be set up for technical bush/woods riding, but I also want it to be capable over woops, braking bumps/trail trash and not too soft for casual club MX

The other issue is that my top triple clamps are for 54mm OD forks, whereas the WRF's are apparently 55.5mm OD. I've had varying opinions on whether I "could" get them into my clamps, and whether I "should" do it given that it'll put some pressure on the tubes
