Hi Guys,
Anyone tried to convert late model RM 250's to use 48mm Showa forks? Mine's an 05.
I have a pair of KXF forks with ohlins cartridges inside, and the axle size fits, seems like the brake caliper should fit as well, the only issue being triple clamps. Is there any option to just drop in triple clamps from any other bike, or would boring out the clamps I have now (scar billet clamps) be a better option?

I bored 1mm out of the lower triple clamp on my RM250 so that I could fit an RMZ front end. I've had no issues with this modification.
However if you do go this route, it is 100% worth spending the money and getting the job done by a professional machine shop with good equipment.

same bearing size on the stem like the RM.
it uses the new model Rmz fender and front plate . wil check the bore size tomorrow if you are interested.
