With the complete YZ front end, is it basically a bolt on deal?

Ed Ventura on here has a thread on a complete YZ front end swap. Another member has done it too, don't remember the name right now. Whether you use KYB or Showa forks though it seems they are longer than the Zokes and you will have considerably more fork showing above the top triple clamp. In my case, I've got a sub mounted stabilizer so I have some extra room to do that if needed. Unsure about the differences in clamp offsets and position of axle to fork leg. What I do know is that the YZ uses a wider spacing on the triples and that the lower fork axle lugs angle inward. I'm pretty sure that using the GasGas clamps isn't an option because the hub itself would be too wide then.

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.....
