I remember reading in a Dirtbike mag article about forks is that conventional forks were better suited for trail riding and inverted forks were better for motorcross and big jumps.Originally Posted by ctk

Man the prices for the pieces are gonna be through the roof on ebay everytime someone bumps this post. I really want to do this to my R but doubt i can afford it even with the bolt on. Is the steering stem length the same as well? It just seems too easy...

Nope, it's not a 900rr. I'm pretty sure I know what it is though..........
Yes, unfortunately every guy with an R and some $$ will be all over these for awhile. We'll be bidding against one another

Good find. It looks like the forks are a smaller diameter that the holes in the tripples, I bought a tri-z once that had 85 forks in 86 tripples and a bush made to fit the difference in the fork diameter. I never trusted it and swapped them straight away. When will we find out what the tripples are off.

The forks look to fit fine in the triples, Kasey said "near bolt on" so I doubt the tubes need bushings.....
The 350X has rake in the triples so these would not work I don't think.
I think the triples rhyme with "Damn fee!!"

It's kinda lame people keep this stuff a secret, who cares? Wouldn't you want other trikers to have the better ride of newer suspension? I don't even have a 250R and I wanna know....

4 Wheels? Huh?
whiney whiney whiney
350x tripples have rake built in...do what?
last I heard zero rake triples, 35in cartridge forks, and a +2.5 swinger netted you a 58 inch wheel base....
why would you want anything else.

Slow down!! He want to be sure it is basically a bolt-on affaire before he tell the part required! It is not a couple days of waiting in your life that will kill your passion!
