When I got this bike none of the frontend parts looked like any of the pics of the ec250s of this year. After doing some research I've found that my bike has 46mm kyb forks, nissin brakes a kawi front wheel and kawi triple clamps.. It works great. I was just wondering if anyone had seen this before.

Most do a swap with the KYB SSS from the yama's. But even the KYB from a kawa is a step up from the 45mm conventional Marzoochis it came with. Although they did perform well they had knack for going thru seals quite fast. The oil would get dirty real fast from internal wear.
Great find, the 97' motor is a sweet heart, the counter balancer makes it feel like an electric tractor. I have a 97' I will never part with.
