I got a set off of eBay for my 97 rm250 but they only come in black. I cut the front number plate legs off that covered the fork upper tubes and the boots looked awesome.

The plan is to try them on a CR250 -80 with 480 engine.
Do you still run them on the KX?

The bigger DRZ's still have the 49s with black boots from what I can tell; and they have sold a million of those since they came out in 01 or so.

I thought the Drz had the same 45mm fork as Rmx, but you are right they have 49mm open cartridge.
Thanks

I do. Looking forward to riding with them since I've had them rebuilt. A lot of parts were worn out and I expect them to work much better now. Got different springs also.. are you fabricating some kind of adapter for a brake lug or are you running a disc?

I use a Husky wheel, so i just fab a torque arm.
Dont think disk looks right on a twinshock, but its heavy and a bigbore, so maby i change my mind about it..
Its illegal in twinshock class anyway, so i can build any way i want
