YZ KYB Conversion
Anyone got any ideas on how to set up steering stops for the YZ triples in a GasGas EC250 frame?
I suppose the other option is to try to find a set of 48mm GasGas triples to fit these forks into but there is nothing on ebay. |

should be on the forum in one of the kyb threads, but the ones i remember was welding a tab on the steering head (like the yz have) and the other was door-stop rubbers screwed into the bike frame where the tubes come in contact, and the last being what you mentioned and what i had

I screwed then welded blocks onto the YZ triple lower, was pretty easy and clean and fit for purpose. Search my pictures should find it.

At this point, I'm thinking a tab welded on to the front of the steering head would be the best solution. |

Modifying the triple would be preferable as I have a spare set of YZ triples and it is easier to take a triple clamp to the welder vs the whole frame. |

Ahh, here we go, post 43. There is weld a bit underneath but they butt up against the edge so they cant go anywhere. Several years on.

I have tagged all these threads so they will appear together in the timeline ..... at least for a while. Its almost like the forum should have a dedicated section for KYB forks and fork swaps. It is good to have my own home machine shop for this kind of project. The only thing I don't do is weld but I have a really good welder on speed-dial. It is interesting to see the welded triple clamp blocks. Basically exactly what I was contemplating. I have even considered drilling tapping the block so an adjusting screw can be installed. |

Yeah I wanted as much flat area to hit at the same time to spread the load.

As taking a triple clamp to the welder is significantly easier than hauling the entire bike down to his shop, I will be doing this steering stop mod rather than adding a block to the steering head. I also have a spare YZ triple clamp, which means that screwing the whole thing up comes with less risk/cost. |

Thinking back I think my first template was in nylon to get the size right.
