In the states they have spare KYB SSS fork parts available everywhere and cheap. Twin chamber so all the benefits of closed chamber forks over the stock sachs open cartridge design. You can do a full conversion but then run into issues with axles, triple clamps, etc etc etc. If the internals drop right in it makes it a job easier than changing fork seals, and unlike the Ohlins TTX which will set you back a grand or more, you can probably get the KYBs for less than you could have your Sachs revalved for.

Thus.. Interested

So whats the plan Rob? Are you just going to machine the base plug to accomodate the KYB into the gasser lower fork leg/axle clamps?
