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.
Current bikes. KTM MC 250 77 Husky CR 360 77, Husky 82 420 Auto Bitsa XR 200 project. Dont need a pickle just need to ride my motorcickle

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
