Ive picked up a set of 50mm conventional forks that I want to fit to a Swedish Husky ('88 AE430 or '85 510TE), I think they came off a mid 90s WR360, I have the bottom triple with stem, looking for a top triple..

i think they will bolt straight in? i read on cafe husky where someone converted a 40mm to 50mm upsides from a mid 90's cag. bearings and tube all the same....could be wrong!

I believe that's correct JC, Timken L44610 cup and L44649 bearing until 2004.

From test fitting a 50mm Marzocchi front end, the forks are closer to XC length so may have to move the legs up in the triples, steering stops appear to be in the right position too.
