thanks guys. I picked up a pair of yz250 46mm USD forks and clamps for it today. all I have to do is help the guy fit an engine to his subaru for a day. good score! it didnt come with a caliper so Im hoping the std xt one will fit. I dont pick up the bike till monday but will hook straight into it for sure! will keep you guys posted with heaps of pics and low cost mods.

I hope the yz forks will be ok. they dont have a provision for the steering lock but ill find a way around that and they do look quite long. Ill post some questions at a later date about fork length etc so I can get an idea of the overall geometry of the forks on the bike. just hope the frame isnt bent.

its hard when you buy at an online auction and theres ****** all decent pics to go from...
