No distortion on mine, the stop has worked very well. It probably could be made smaller with less weld.

Excellent! Thank you for the quick reply.. I'm going to use a MIG welder and just weld on a simple tab like the factory had. It wont be artwork like yours but it should work. Thanks!

Did a similar steering stop on my Showa 47mm swap.

Looks cherry! Mine looks like crap but it does the job well.. I used Showas from an 06 rm250.. spent $40 having the stock upper clamp bored out and bought new lower fork protectors and that was about it..

Well my fork seals are weeping, so like 2 years on, it appears that they aren't magic.

I'm 3 for 3 using a seal mate.. on my cousin's bike the seals were so packed with dirt I used the seal mate without opening the air bleeders first and it pushed a lot of oil and enough of the crap out to stop the leaks..

Tried that. Well a piece of film (remember that stuff?) I'd saved for the purpose.

I know this is an old thread, but great work! Bike looks awesome! I just picked up a '98 EC250 last night and want to do the fork swap and the updated look process too. Hopefully I can find the thread on that. Thanks for posting all the info, big help!

Congrats on grabbing a GG Unicorn! The 98 EC250 has the counter balancer and it is silky smooth! The KYB forks are a terrific upgrade over the stock conventional 98 Zokes.

Default Still riding the EC250

I'm still running my updated 2000 EC250. It's been a great bike and super reliable. The suspension has gone thru a couple different tuners. New bikes always look so tempting but this still gets it done.
