KX 250 /450 fork size

[William Doe]

Can anyone tell me what size the forks (diameter) should be in a 1974 KX 250 and a 1974 KX 450

Thanks

Would that be the " popular belief size " or the " only known by a select few, back room done deal, secret society size "

Either way I have N.F.I.

Shows 36mm for the 250 still looking for the 450 size I say they will be the same as the 250

kx 250 .... 36mm below bottom triple with 34mm to top triple.

and 34mm for KX450, Bill

Thanks team  I have 36mm reducing to 34mm in my 250 as Stewy said .

I bought a couple of sets of 450 forks for projects and was surprised that they were only 34mm.

The bottoms are unique due to the small brake lug on both .

I was wondering if my 250 had the wrong forks , but it seems to be all good

74 250/450 are the same crap - that combined with a destruct at any moment backing plate makes them worth only a museum display.
