Hey, I was wondering. I have a good set of 38mm forks from a 92KLR 650
They are air shocks. Anyone know what the dimension on the stock 650 are? I actualy have airshocks in the rear from a Goldwing. The bolted right on and made the ride awesome!! Hoping to do the same with the front. I'm asking because I have to drive very far to pick them up so I don't want to waste the trip. Airshocks all around would be sweet! One more thing, does anyone know where the cross reference chart is on kawasaki.com ?

Why not just replace your fork caps with ones made to adapt them to air forks?
You might have to change the springs though.
Also you might check into Progressive fork springs, I think Progressive Suspension makes some for the 650.

Didn't the Ltd models have air shocks? Or, am I thinking of something else?
