You will need the clamps, brake caliper, wheel spacers, front plate and fender

You’re positive about this? Because I figured brake caliper, spacers, and number plate would need replaced too.

Well I was not able to find anything online showing that it worked. You’re the only person to say anything about it. So, before I spend an exuberant amount of money, I am going to ask for a double confirmation. Have you done this swap yourself?

This is my 2003 with 2006 Sunline clamps and 2006 450 forks. The picture shows 2006 clamps work with the steel frame.

I've done multiple front end swaps on steel frame yz250s. The other thing you will need to do is weld a tab onto the existing turn stopper on the frame. This makes it larger and the clamp stopper will engage it. Pretty easy. One I did I put 2012 yz250f forks on and it didn't need it.

Did you have to change the steering stem on the 06 clamp to fit in the steel frame? I have a set of Ride Engeering clamps from a 09 frame but the steering stem is to short for the steel 03 frame

Steering stem will need to be swapped

Yes forgot swap stems. 10 ton press should do.

Thanks

Please keep use posted on this swap. I am planning to do the same thing soon !

Super easy. Also another cool mod is use a 06 or newer shock body with your 16mm shaft. It will fit perfectly in the frame

I posted some detailed info and photos in the thread below. Give it a look:

Get 04 triple clamps that way the stops will match up without hassle. I put 05's (same diameter)on my 2000. The only other thing I needed was 05 brake line and the metal bracket that bends the brake line around the forks sense they have a different design.
The stem on 04 and 00 are same and I suspect yours is same as mine
