Thank you Mike, I really appreciate that .

Yeah exactly, that's what we wanted to achieve with our conversion - a MTX200 as it should have been made back in 1983. I'm sure this could have been a real competitor for all the Yamaha ITs, Suzuki PEs and Kawasaki KDXs.

If so, I would just have to get a custom-made bearing for the lower end of the stem...

Cheers.

I also thought about a pair of XR250 forks as I've already read in the forum that they fit the MK1 yokes straight on. But I also think even the CRM forks would be a massive improvement compared with the tiny 35mm forks of the MTX.

I guess an individual machined steering stem with the measurements ...

No problem. An answer from the expert would be much appreciated.

Hi

Actually I do not own an CRM 250 as they were not sold here in Germany but I've got a MTX 200 in very good condition. Unfortunately the suspension doesn't cope with the engine. Therefore I would like to fit the yokes of an MK1 together with the forks. To do some measuring I would need the length ...
