    Hey there folks. While perusing some posts, I came across a reply by CR390_Kevin. He used a YZ490 forks, clamps and the stock Huqvarna steering stem (with modifications) to update his front suspension on his 82 250CR. Curious if anyone else has done something similar. Props to Kevin. Very sano looking setup.

    I haven't done this but the first thing that comes to mind is why do it? Do the YZ forks provided that much better suspension over the stock setup to make it worth the effort?

    I think in his post he stated that the 490 forks don't flex as much and are more less inclined to bottom.

    Less flex and less bottoming out can certainly be worth the effort.
