Would've posted in the tech but figured I'd get a better answer since this generates more traffic..
Anyway I'm able to get a good deal on a set of Showa A-kit off a 14' CRF 250. Wanting to know if anyone has transferred anything similar to a 18' 450? I know the shock won't work but figured the forks will. The clamps are 20mm offset I believe.
Also wondering if this kit would bolt up to a 06' CR 250 or if the stock 18' 450 forks will bolt up to the 2 stroke. Not sure if this would cause handling issues. Pretty sure the shock is useless for this too.
What I'm trying to decide is to pull the trigger on the kit forks and swap all the stuff around if it'll work. If everything will swap it'll be a lot easier going out and buying a new Honda.

You could just send that to me
Your stuck with that shock body though. The Showa a kit ones for the 17 are stupid money as they are all billet, they haven't done any cast production runs so a shock is 5k for a 17 crf450
What do you guys mean about boring the clamps? The kit suspension comes with clamps. Maybe I made it sound a little confusing in my original post.
Also if anyone knows if the kit or stock 18 forks will bolt up to a 06 CR 250 it would be a lot of help.
