I'm sure this has been covered over and over,.. but in regards to the 99 Front end I'm putting on my 93 CR250, will a 95 front wheel/hub/axle/bushings all work or are there modifications that have to be done? If so, what year(s) Front wheel assembly will be a direct fit on the 99 fork/triple clamp set up (I think...

MCFan - That's been done for quite a while correct?... I have pics of that saved from back in like 2011 ... as it's pretty much exactly how I want mine to look! Great job!! Mine has been on the back burner for quite some time, but recently my brother crashed it and busted the tank, bars, and a foot...

What was the Banjo bolt's purpose again?... I remember reading up on it in this thread last year... but I'm old and forgetful Sad ... I've got a complete 99 Set up to run on my '93 250,.. thought it would be a direct swap (?)...

WOW!,.. That is REALLY nice looking!!!,... Up until I saw that photo I wouldn't have given a set of Black rims on my '93 a second thought,.. but now... Smile ... Those Red hubs really set it off as well! - Great Job! What pipe is that on there... ? Rick

Hey Barkhard!,.. Yeah Dogger is the "The Man" when it comes to all things Steelie! haha! ,.. he's been overly kind to me in passing along his knowledge of these bikes that's for sure! THANKS DOGGER!!!! Emig Clamps: I believe that the "McGrath Works" ones that they offer and have in stock are a direct bolt on replacement for '93's...

no you are correct,.. the "96" has the different bottom bearing/head pipe,.. but the 93 and 99 share the same bearings/head pipes on both the top and bottom.. .. just the stem and dust seals are different Smile As today has been pretty much dedicated to getting a game plan and solution to this whole fork episode,.. I found some...

Dogger - the 99 and 93 share the same exact bearings,.. and I would assume that the stem is the same on both ends as well in terms of OD. ... the length is the kicker here as the 99's clamps are spaced out about 3/8" further apart than the 93's.... Using the complete 99 set up there will need...

I just got off the phone with Emig Racing,.. those "McGrath" replica "Works" Triples are 600 bucks! ..... way too rich for my blood Smile .... but I read back through this thread and didn't see the price any where so I thought I'd post it Smile The odd part is I asked them about just the Lower clamp,.. and...

By the way, looks like we've done a pretty good job of jacking MCfan4life's thread. whoops! .... ah, I think everything here has been mentioned previously,.. we're just going into more detail on it Smile I believe the lower bearings are the same on the 93 as they are on the 99's (??) ... I guess I'll have to...

Hey Dogger :D I hear you loud n clear Cam,.. it makes perfect sense financially just to do the '96 thing with the shims,.. Depending on how much my guy will charge to do the '95 boring job,.. I may just try it for giggles I don't have any mic's and calipers here,.. but does anyone know for sure if...

I'm very optimistic about this statement Smile .... the guy I've got lined up has made more than a few triple's for his own personal "Vintage" motorcycle collection (Older fella, sounds like he knows what he's doing.) I'm hoping he's one of those true old school machinist who could make a swiss watch the size of a dime Smile MCfan...

Did I mention that I wasn't looking to break the bank on this project? HAHA!,... I had actually thought about that at one point,.. what's the price for a set of those anyway? Seems like someone over at the ATM forums had a set of '96 triples that I could basically "have",.. I need to follow up on that I...

Thanks for the input Smile ... If I want it "Perfect" I'll pursue mounting the whole '99 Front end including the triples,.. just need to address the steering stops (Easily done by welding stops to the steering head on the frame). And the longer "stem" ,... probably have to try and shim the bearings or even possibly press the 99...
