I have a friend that would like to convert his '07 front end to the 49mm conventional setup and recall seeing you had done that to your old RM. Did you make the older clamps work in the newer frame or use the newer clamps with shims? If you went the shim route, do you recall the dimensions needed to make the upper and lower clamps work?
Any info would be appreciated.

I'll keep you in mind Pete, I got an '02 yz144 project in my garage that would be trick with some conventionals on it.
-- can you give some feedback on those '98 forks
(because the 04+ showa's are pretty nice w/ a revalve --- feels like my rmz's)
---- hey Pete, what is a legit offer?
If you can shoot me an email/ pm
>>> might like to give a try, something different for when i freshen my 05 (play bike) up in a few months w/ a diff look
..... thanks

'96 had more lower overhang and a hexagon cap
'97 had less (than '96)lower overhang and a hexagon cap
'98 had less(than '96) lower overhang and the more current slotted cap
I don't know of any other way to get a hold of him :p
I saw one of your posts on a thread about racing all kinds of rm's and I really think the person I've been looking to talk to!
You said something about running a different needle in the '03 rm 250 and also I saw you mentioned modifying the squishband.
In your opinion, how should I go about getting my '03 250 to be an awesome performing woods/mx bike?
Thanks so much for your help and I've already emailed you previous I just now realize you might not check cause it goes straight to your email.
I'm using an NECJ needle, 165 main, 45 pilot, 45 power jet and a 7.0 slide with a 32:1 mix of 93 gas. It's still a bit rich in the mid throttle range but it does run pretty well. I'm at sea level to a couple hundred feet.
I'm anxious to read Digger's reply.
I'm currently running 162 main, 45 pilot, 7.0 slide, 50 Power, 2nd slot on N8RH (Stock needle)
I run 93 octane too mixed at 32:1 with Castor 927. I tried Klotz R50 at the beginning of this season just didn't care for it.
