As it's pre 85 go for Honda CR 84 front end. The twin link KTM brakes are rare as and not as good as the Yamaha one.

I had one fitted to my 81 250 for a while, and it could do stoppies with ease, but not legal.

Paul, I have one that you can purchase. The rim needs relacing etc and I have a set of Marzocchi forks for it although the legs are bent. Cheers Bill

Sorry Bill - just now saw your reply. Would I need to change front wheel and forks to use the brake? Triples too?

Paul, mine came off an 85 250 enduro so the forks are 42 mm and I don't have the triple clamps any more. not sure if you could fit a brake stay to the backing plate so it could fit on your front end. I'll see what I can find out. Cheers Bill

The ktm hub and wheel off 84 are not a problem you just need 3R3 shoes forget any other Yamaha shoes only they will cost you!but there the ones we used in 84 !
