I have spent the last few days searching CRFS only and internet for info re: fork swap! and now I'm more confused...
For the front fork mod:

1. Is there a fork or fork and tripple combo thatis a direct fit?
I thought the CR125 was but there are so many years within the 125 line that are different. and some dont look like they have the propper mounts for disc brakes etc.? (I would prefer the upside down fork)

2. Rick Seimans article is great but I cannot do the metal working
so Does Emig Racings CR fork Conversion bolt in? and what parts would I need to complete this mod? year? model? etc?

3. anything to consider when doing this? my bike is an 04 230f with Baja designs street legal kit minus the turn signals! I'm 6'1" 160lbs.

4. What rear mod will equal out the front? BBR stiff spring?

any help would be appreciated

There's a fellow on here - Old Dude - that has created a monster 230 from a suspension perspective. See his post of Aug 17, 2009 titled 'This aint no ordinary 230'

He has two ways to do it - the second way is what you are looking for.
