sir dabs alot Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 I have heard that putting TY forks on a KT make a huge difference in the handling traits. I was wondering if switching the triple clamps would have a similar affect since they appear to have less offset or if the front wheel will eve line up. Anyone ever tried it???

feetupfun Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I do know that the fork tubes are a different distance apart on these bikes so if you were thinking of using the KT wheel and mudguard it would require some mods. I'm one of the people who ran for a while with a complete TY250 front end on my KT a few years ago and it did make the KT front work very well in tight turns. However, I doubt that fitting TY triple clamps to a KT with KT forks would improve the KT steering. Both bikes have similar trail dimension as standard so by using KT forks together with TY triple clamps, there would be almost zero steering trail.

I guess to get the desired steering I need TY forks and clamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
