Possible 350x Upgrade

[350Kris]

I've been doing some research. I think the forks from a new Honda CRF150F may fit the 350x. I haven't checked the length but they are both 35mm. The 150F forks have 9.1" of travel compared to the 350x's 8". Both are leading axles. You would have to use the 350x axle of course and I'm not sure about the brake system, but I'm sure it would be an easy conversion. Has anyone tried it or does anyone have any opinions???

you would have to find diffrent springs. you should be able to find the 150 forks because a few people convert to CR85 forks. try asking around on http://www.thumpertalk.com

Why would I need different springs?....I'm thinking of using the whole fork set up from the 150.

The bike is a lot lighter than the trike. If you use the dampening rods from 83-84 250r forks in the 350x you gain 1" of travel and better dampening. Mr. ATC did a how to over on .org. I did it to mine and a frienda and it made a noticable difference.

you need diffrent springs because the trike ways 320 pounds and the bike ways 213 pounds.
