Ok so I have read the other threads on doing this and they mention having to fabricate a bushing to compensate for the larger hole in the bottom leg where the valving goes. Does anyone have a picture of what this typically looks like? I am wondering how this would seal since it would be made from aluminum?

I have done several sets,89 internals in my 83 250, 89 in an 84 125, the bottoming cones need to be turned down to seat in the lower legs, as far as the spacer for the base valve bolt, just need to fab up a hat type washer, use both sets of copper washers to seal.

Sorry Wolfy,
This is an impossable task. 89 USD fork internals in 83 CR conventionals?

Pics or it didn't happen. Smile

I assume you ment to say 87/88 forks, but you did type it twice!

Guys, I just put 89 internals in my 84 125, it can surely be done, I have all the specs. Really don't want to post a trade secret. I can tell you, turn down the bottoming cone to seat in the older leg cut a hat type wager to adapt the base valve, to this point I have done at least 5 set for my personal rides and friends. Don't throw in the towel yet

Yep, that looks like what I did. Fabbed up the bushings and sandwiched it with both copper washers. All together and ready to install.
Thanks guys, this is a great website!
