Made this skidplate and I'll weld mounting brackets on the frame.




I picked up a set of Showa 47 mm forks and triple clamps from a 2009 KX250F. The Showas have a 33 mm lug offset and that year triple clamp is 23.5 mm offset. The combination will have the net effect of going from a 22 mm clamp to a 21.5 mm clamp on the stock 99 forks. I had to weld a new steering stop on the frame to use the 09 triples. Those footpegs are 2014 KTM and are a direct bolt on. That will give me a lot more options for pegs. The triple clamp has the casting marks removed and I Cerakoted it burnt bronze.


Shock received a new seal head, piston band, and bumpstop. The clickers are in perfect shape. They don’t look like they've ever been adjusted. Spring is a 5.0 kg/mm from Factory Connection.
