Hey guys, I have a quick question for all of you suspension gurus. I have an '89 KX125 that I'm rebuilding with the intent to race. I have read the the forks from the 89 KXs are one that were very desirable back then, especially when the USD forks came out,however, with all of the new forks out now, is it possible, or even beneficial to fit new KX triple clamps/forks on these old bikes?

Thank you for the quick reply. That was my first intention, have them revalved and all that for me, but i wasnt sure if there was a better option

I think a 2x4 would be better forks than the 4CS junkers Whistling
