Fork conversion

[ben_wheely]

Is it possible to change the drz 's' right way up forks, for the drz 'sm' up-side down forks, with out having to change too much else ?

I know a guy who put wr400 usd's on his drz, but had to change all the clamp and yokes and front wheel and spindle ...

so from a drz to a drz is things similar ?

A whole front end conversion should be pretty straight forward, assuming they use the same frame

Hi

Don't know with the actual bike, but USD forks clamp at a far thicker point on the fork. You would almost certainly have to swap the yokes, and quite possibly swap / modify loads of other things connected to the forks / yokes (brakes, wheel spindle, mudguard, speedo drive, clock mounts, etc).

As quite often the designs of the steering head stem are similar between different bikes of the same manufacturer it is often easiest just to swap on the complete front end. Even that may not be that easy (ie, on some bikes such a swap means taking the steering stem out of one set of yokes and pressing it into the other set).

All the best

Ok ta. They do look better, and i rode a wr the other day with usd's and it feels a lot nicer, and im sure they are nicer off road. Just not worth the hassel I guess.
