Forks on Hon and Yam

[Henrik]

Honda and Yammie both have Nissin calipers, from the looks of it the exact same caliper. Is the lower fork end the same on Honda and Yammie?? I looks that way but I've only seen pics of them (compared my yz400 with a cr250 and they looked identical). Thing is - I'd like to put Honda forkguards on my YZ and if the fork is the same it should work. If it will work - which fork guard guides should I use?? I'm after the brakeline mount. (Yes, I know there are alternatives, I've probably seen most of them, I'm just curious. If this doesn't work I'll do it Motoman393-style but I don't like the way that looks...)

Henrik, you can buy a Honda-style brakeline from a few different companies and a new bracket for your Yamaha fork guard that will allow you to do the mounting almost exactly Honda style. I don't know of any companies that make the bracket, but if you go to ThumperTalk and contact oldblue, I know he makes them for like $20 US. I think that is what you're after. And- SHAME ON YOU for thinking about putting Honda parts on your Yammie

I know, it doesn't feel right with Honda stuff... :-)

I've seen oldblue's mount and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] mount and they look good but it feels wierd to pay as much as I paid for the brakeline for just a mount.
