I read about what you did with the KYB internals. Sounds like a great setup in the end but yes a ton of work. If I had Sachs forks I would gladly go with TTX inserts and be done with this. Unfortunately I've got Zoke 45s so thats not an option. After more looking, thinking, reading, and measuring I'm ordering a set of used YZ triple clamps to get started. I can then borrow a friends YZ front wheel and brake setup for a weekend to see if this is going to work I well as I think. If it does then I can make some decisions on adapting the GasGas wheel or giving in and just using all Yamaha stuff.
