250 r front fork question

[rugabugadouglas]

i dont know if this is the right page for this but does anyone know of any forks off of a smaller dirtbike that will fit a 250 r front end? i am looking to lower it down a little to make kinda mini r for my kids. any help would be great weather it be just diameter of fork or lengths if i get any kind of a lead i could figure the rest out. those stupid ebayers dont ever awncer back so there no help so i turned to the real helpers in this world!!!:Bounce

a mini 250R for your kid? are you nuts?:crazy:
are you going to remove the motor and tow him? I hope! you could go to jail for letting your kid under 16 ride one of those....not kidding either!!!:eek:

you can always take the short spring out and put it under the dampening rod,, it will make it 4 inches lower ..

Id suggest selling the R, and use the money to buy a pair or three 200X's for them, and use the leftover money for gas.

Seriously, If you have to lower a 250R in order for your kids to ride it, your kids have no business being on a 250R, unless you are building a mini, powered by a mini motor, like Jason Hall did. Go with a 200X, fully suspended with plenty of motor, but a much better fit for those kids in between mini and adult size.
